Sirach 27:21-24 Common English Bible (CEB)

21. In the same way that it’s possibleto bandage a wound,there’s also reconciliation for insult,but the one who has let a friend’s secrets slip out has no hope.

22. Those who wink their eye plan evil,and whoever recognizes themwill keep their distance.

23. To your face their speech will be sweet,and they will express amazementat your words.But later they will distort what they said,and they will use your own wordsagainst you.

24. I’ve hated many things,but nothing compares with them.Even the Lord will hate them.
