Sirach 12:16-17 World English Bible (WEB)

16. And the enemy will speak sweetly with his lips, And in his heart take counsel how to overthrow you into a pit: The enemy will weep with his eyes, And if he find opportunity, he will not be satiated with blood.

17. If adversity meet you, you shall find him there before you; And as though he would help you, he will trip up your heel.
