Sirach 27:14-19 World English Bible (WEB)

14. The talk of a man of many oaths will make the hair stand upright; And their strife makes one stop his ears.

15. The strife of the proud is a shedding of blood; And their reviling of each other is a grievous thing to hear.

16. He that reveals secrets destroys credit, And shall not find a friend to his mind.

17. Love a friend, and keep faith with him: But if you reveal his secrets, You shall not pursue after him;

18. For as a man has destroyed his enemy, So have you destroyed the friendship of your neighbor.

19. And as a bird which you have loosed out of your hand, So have you let your neighbor go, and you will not catch him again:
