Ecclesiasticus 22:20 Context
18Pales set on an high place will neuer stand against the wind: so a feareful heart in the imagination of a foole, can not stand against any feare. 19He that pricketh the eye, wil make teares to fall: and he that pricketh the heart, maketh it to shewe her knowledge. 20Who so casteth a stone at the birds, frayeth them away, and he that vpbraideth his friend, breaketh friendship. 21Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despaire not, for there way be a returning (to fauour.) 22If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, feare not, for there may be a reconciliation: except for vpbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound, for, for these things euery friend will depart.
