Sirach 22:27 CPDV

²⁵  He who throws a stone at birds will drive them away. So also, he who accuses his friend dissolves the friendship.

²⁶  But if you have drawn a sword against a friend, you should not despair; for there may be a way back.

²⁷  If you have opened a harsh mouth against a friend, you should not fear; for there may be a reconciliation. However, if there are accusations, or abuse, or arrogance, or the revealing of secrets, or a wound from deceitfulness, in all these cases, a friend will flee away.

²⁸  Hold to faithfulness with a friend in his poverty, so that you may also rejoice in his prosperity.

²⁹  In the time of his tribulation, remain faithful to him, so that you may also be an heir with him in his inheritance.
