Sirach 37:11 CPDV

⁹  Guard your soul from a counselor. And know beforehand what his interests are. For he will form thoughts from his own soul.

¹⁰  Otherwise, he may set a signpost in the ground, and he may say to you:

¹¹  'Your own way is good.' But then he will stand at a distance to see what befalls you.

¹²  Do not discuss holiness with an irreligious man, nor justice with one who is unjust. You should not speak with a woman about her who is a rival, nor with a coward about war, nor with a merchant about exaggeration, nor with a buyer about selling, nor with a spiteful man about giving thanks,

¹³  nor with the impious about piety, nor with the dishonest about honesty, nor with the field worker about other kinds of work,
