Sirach 22:20
Print
Whoever throws a stone at birds scares them off, and whoever insults a friend breaks up a friendship.
The thought of him that is wise at all times, shall not be depraved by fear.
If you throw rocks at birds, you will scare them away; and if you insult a friend, you will break up the friendship.
Whoever throws a stone at birds drives them away; whoever insults a friend breaks up the friendship.
If you throw a stone at birds, you frighten them away; if you revile a friend, you destroy a friendship.
One who throws a stone at birds scares them away, and one who reviles a friend destroys a friendship.
One who throws a stone at birds scares them away, and one who reviles a friend destroys a friendship.
One who throws a stone at birds scares them away, and one who reviles a friend destroys a friendship.
One who throws a stone at birds scares them away, and one who reviles a friend destroys a friendship.
One who throws a stone at birds scares them away, and one who reviles a friend will break off the friendship.
One who throws a stone at birds scares them away, and one who reviles a friend will break off the friendship.
He that casteth a stone to (or at) birds, shall cast down those; so and he that doeth wrong to a friend, departeth friendship. [Throwing a stone into fowls, throweth them down; so and that putteth reproof to a friend, loseth friendship.]
