13. Who will pity a charmer that is bitten with a serpent, Or any that come near wild beasts?
14. Even so who will pity him that goes to a sinner, And is mingled with him in his sins?
15. For a while he will abide with you, And if you give way, he will not hold out.
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.
