18 Love your neighbor, and be united with him faithfully.
19 But if you disclose his secrets, you should not continue to follow after him.
20 For like a man who destroys his friend, so also is he who destroys the friendship of his neighbor.
21 And like someone releasing a bird from his hand, so have you abandoned your neighbor, and you will not obtain him again.
22 You should no longer seek him, for he is now far away; he has fled like a roe-deer from a snare. For his soul has been wounded.
23 You will no longer be able to bind his wound. For there may be a reconciliation from cursing.
24 But to disclose the secrets of a friend is the hopeless act of an unhappy soul.
