Ben Sira 19:14

14 Reprove thy neighbour, for it may be he hath not said it: and if he hath said it, that he may not say it again.

Ben Sira 19:14 In-Context

12 As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh: so is a word in the heart of a fool.

13 Reprove a friend, lest he may not have understood, and say : f did it not: or if he did it, that he may do it no more.

14 Reprove thy neighbour, for it may be he hath not said it: and if he hath said it, that he may not say it again.

15 Admonish thy friend: for there is often a fault committed.

16 And believe not every word. There is one, that slippeth with the tongue, but not from his heart.
