In context
21Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despair not: For there may be a returning to favor.
22If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, fear not; For there may be a reconciliation: Except for upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: For for these things every friend will depart.
— Sirach 22:23 —
24As the vapor and smoke of a furnace goeth before the fire; So reviling before blood.
25I will not be ashamed to defend a friend; Neither will I hide myself from him;
