Ben Sira 27:17

17 Love thy friend, and be faithful unto him; but if thou betrayest his secrets, follow no more after him.

Ben Sira 27:17 In-Context

15 The strife of the proud is bloodshedding, and their revilings are grievous to the ear.

16 Whoso discloseth secrets loseth his credit and shall never find a friend to his mind.

17 Love thy friend, and be faithful unto him; but if thou betrayest his secrets, follow no more after him.

18 For as a man hath destroyed his enemy, so hast thou lost the love of thy neighbor.

19 As one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, so hast thou let thy neighbor go, and shalt not get him again.
