Sir 9:13
King James Version
“Keep thee far from the man that hath power to kill; so shalt thou not doubt the fear of death: and if thou come unto him, make no fault, lest he take away thy life presently: remember that thou goest in the midst of snares, and that thou walkest upon the battlements of the city.”
Context
10Forsake not an old friend; for the new is not comparable to him: a new friend is as new wine; when it is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
11Envy not the glory of a sinner: for thou knowest not what shall be his end.
12Delight not in the thing that the ungodly have pleasure in; but remember they shall not go unpunished unto their grave.
13Keep thee far from the man that hath power to kill; so shalt thou not doubt the fear of death: and if thou come unto him, make no fault, lest he take away thy life presently: remember that thou goest in the midst of snares, and that thou walkest upon the battlements of the city.
14As near as thou canst, guess at thy neighbour, and consult with the wise.
15Let thy talk be with the wise, and all thy communication in the law of the most High.
16And let just men eat and drink with thee; and let thy glorying be in the fear of the Lord.
