Ben Sira 22:21

21 Even if you have drawn your sword against a friend, do not despair, for a renewal of friendship is possible.

Ben Sira 22:21 In-Context

19 A man who pricks an eye will make tears fall, and one who pricks the heart makes it show feeling.

20 One who throws a stone at birds scares them away, and one who reviles a friend will break off the friendship.

21 Even if you have drawn your sword against a friend, do not despair, for a renewal of friendship is possible.

22 If you have opened your mouth against your friend, do not worry, for reconciliation is possible; but as for reviling, arrogance, disclosure of secrets, or a treacherous blow -- in these cases any friend will flee.

23 Gain the trust of your neighbor in his poverty, that you may rejoice with him in his prosperity; stand by him in time of affliction, that you may share with him in his inheritance.
