21. And like someone releasing a bird from his hand, so have you abandoned your neighbor, and you will not obtain him again.
22. You should no longer seek him, for he is now far away; he has fled like a roe-deer from a snare. For his soul has been wounded.
23. You will no longer be able to bind his wound. For there may be a reconciliation from cursing.
24. But to disclose the secrets of a friend is the hopeless act of an unhappy soul.
25. One who winks with the eye fabricates iniquity, and no one will cast him aside.
