Ecclesiasticus 27:23-29 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

23. Thou canst no more bind him up. And of a curse there is reconciliation:

24. But to disclose the secrets of a friend, leaveth no hope to an unhappy soul.

25. He that winketh with the eye forgeth wicked things, and no man will cast him off:

26. In the sight of thy eyes he will sweeten his mouth, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and on thy words he will lay a stumblingblock.

27. I have hated many things, but not like him, and the Lord will hate him.

28. If one cast a stone on high, it will fall upon his own head: and the deceitful stroke will wound the deceitful.

29. He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that setteth a stone for his neighbour, shall stumble upon it: and he that layeth a snare for another, shall perish in it.
