In context

18For as a man hath destroyed his enemy; So hast thou lost the love of thy neighbor.

19As one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, So hast thou let thy neighbor go, and shalt not get him again.

— Sirach 27:20 —

21As for a wound, it may be bound up; And after reviling there may be reconcilement: But he that betrayeth secrets is without hope.

22He that winketh with the eyes worketh evil: And he that knoweth him will depart from him.
