Wisdom of Ben Sira 9:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ Do not envy the success of a sinner,
    for you can never be sure what his end will be.
¹² Take no delight in the pleasures of an ungodly man;
    remember that before his death he will endure some retribution.
¹³ Keep far removed from anyone who has the power to kill,
    and you will not be haunted by the fear of death.
However, should you approach him, make no false step,
    or he may take your life.
Realize that you are treading among snares
    and walking on the battlements of the city.
