Sirach 27:23 CPDV

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.
