Sirach 19:15-17
Wycliffe Bible
15 Reprove thou a friend, for why trespassing is done often; and believe thou not to each word. [Chastise a friend, oft forsooth is done trespass; and not to each word believe thou.]
16 There is a man that falleth [or that slideth] by his tongue, but not of will, that is, wittingly and of (or on) purpose. For why who is he, that trespasseth not in (or with) his tongue?
17 Reprove thou a neighbour, betwixt thee and him, before that thou menace (him); and give thou place to the dread of the Highest. [Chastise a neighbour, ere that thou threaten (him); and give place to the dread of the Highest.]
