5 If you have substance, he will live with you; And he will make you bare, and will not be sorry.
6 Hath he had need of you? then he will deceive you, And smile upon you, and give you hope: He will speak you fair, and say, What need you?
7 And he will shame you by his meats, Until he have made you bare twice or thrice, And at the last he will laugh you to scorn: Afterward will he see you, and will forsake you, And shake his head at you.
8 Beware that you be not deceived, and brought low in your mirth.
9 If a mighty man invite you, be retiring, And so much the more will he invite you.
10 Press not upon him, lest you be thrust back; And stand not far off, lest you be forgotten.
11 Affect not to speak with him as an equal, And believe not his many words: For with much talk will he try you, And in a smiling manner will search you out.
