Ecclesiasticus 27:19 Context
17Loue thy friend, and be faithfull vnto him: but if thou bewrayest his secrets, follow no more after him. 18For as a man hath destroyed his enemie: so hast thou lost the loue of thy neighbour. 19As one that letteth a bird goe out of his hand, so hast thou let thy neighbour goe; and shalt not get him againe. 20Follow after him no more, for he is too far off, he is as a roe escaped out of the snare. 21As for a wound it may be bound vp, and after reuiling there may be reconcilement: but he that bewrayeth secrets is without hope.
