Sirach 22:24

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.

²³Be faithful to thy neighbor in his poverty, That thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: Abide steadfast unto him in the time of his trouble, That thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage.

— Sirach 22:24 —

²⁵I will not be ashamed to defend a friend; Neither will I hide myself from him;

²⁶And if any evil happen unto me by him, Everyone that heareth it will beware of him.
