In context
16As timber girded and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: So the heart that is established by advised counsel shall fear at no time.
17A heart settled upon a thought of understanding Is as a fair plastering on the wall of a gallery.
— Sirach 22:18 —
19He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall: And he that pricketh the heart maketh it to show her knowledge.
20Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them away: And he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship.
