Ben Sira 22:26

26 but if some harm should happen to me because of him, whoever hears of it will beware of him.

Ben Sira 22:26 In-Context

24 The vapor and smoke of the furnace precede the fire; so insults precede bloodshed.

25 I will not be ashamed to protect a friend, and I will not hide from him;

26 but if some harm should happen to me because of him, whoever hears of it will beware of him.

27 O that a guard were set over my mouth, and a seal of prudence upon my lips, that it may keep me from falling, so that my tongue may not destroy me!
