DB1 | Friendship. Sir.22.22-26 | KNSB Contents | notes| 22 | katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE | Passage | Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) |
| 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. | Friendship. Sir.22.22-26 | |
| 23 | Gain the trust of your neighbour 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
