Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 13:7

καὶ αἰσχυνεῖ σε ἐν τοῖς βρώμασιν αὐτοῦ, ἕως οὗ ἀποκενώσῃ σε δὶς ἢ τρίς, καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτων καταμωκήσεταί σου· μετὰ ταῦτα ὄψεταί σε καὶ καταλείψει σε καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ κινήσει ἐπὶ σοί.
King James Version (KJV)

And he will shame thee by his meats, until he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, and at the last he will laugh thee to scorn: afterward, when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, and shake his head at thee.

Modern English

He'll shame you with fine meals until he's drained you two or three times over, and in the end he'll mock you — afterward, when he sees you, he'll ignore you and shake his head at you.
