Sirach 27:21-23
Common English Bible
21 In the same way that it’s possible
to bandage a wound,
there’s also reconciliation for insult,
but the one who has let a friend’s secrets slip out has no hope.
22 Those who wink their eye plan evil,
and whoever recognizes them
will keep their distance.
23 To your face their speech will be sweet,
and they will express amazement
at your words.
But later they will distort what they said,
and they will use your own words
against you.
