Sirach 13:12

12 Those who won't guard your secrets are cruel, and they won't spare you from mistreatment and imprisonment.

Sirach 13:12 In-Context

10 Don't be forward, or you might be rejected; and don't stand far off, or you might be forgotten.
11 Don't think that you can speak with them as an equal, and don't trust in their lengthy conversations, because they will test you with a lot of talking; and when they are smiling, they are really examining you.
12 Those who won't guard your secrets are cruel, and they won't spare you from mistreatment and imprisonment.
13 Be on guard and pay attention, because you are tiptoeing around your own downfall.
