Ben Sira 22:19

19 He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall, and he that pricketh the heart maketh it to show her knowledge.

Ben Sira 22:19 In-Context

17 A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as a fair plastering on the wall of a gallery.

18 Fences set on a high place will never stand against the wind; so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand against any fear.

19 He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall, and he that pricketh the heart maketh it to show her knowledge.

20 Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frightens them away, and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship.

21 Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despair not; for there may be a returning to favor.
