Sirach 27:22 CPDV

²⁰  For like a man who destroys his friend, so also is he who destroys the friendship of his neighbor.

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.
