Sirach 27:17

17 Show affection to friends and be loyal to them, but if you reveal their secrets, don't follow after them.

Sirach 27:17 In-Context

15 The conflict of the arrogant ends in bloodshed, and their abuse is miserable to hear.
16 Those who reveal secrets have destroyed trust, and they will never find a friend for themselves.
17 Show affection to friends and be loyal to them, but if you reveal their secrets, don't follow after them.
18 Just as people destroy an enemy, so you have destroyed your friendship with your neighbors.
19 And as you set a bird free from your hand, so too you have let your neighbors go, and you won't catch them.
