[187] "Householder's son, on four grounds the out-and-out taker (aññadatthuharo) should be known as an enemy in the guise of a friend (mittappaṭirūpako): he is one who takes whatever he can; giving little, he desires much; he does not do what ought to be done in time of danger; and he associates for the sake of his own advantage. On these four grounds, householder's son, the out-and-out taker should be known as an enemy in the guise of a friend."
[Editions note: The Siam Raṭṭha edition reads 'bhayassa kiccaṁ na karoti' ('does not do what ought to be done in time of danger'); the Mahāsaṅgīti and PTS editions read 'bhayassa kiccaṁ karoti' ('does their duty out of fear'). This translation follows the Siam Raṭṭha reading.]
