15 The strife of the proud is a shedding of blood; And their reviling of each other is a grievous thing to hear.
16 He that reveals secrets destroys credit, And shall not find a friend to his mind.
17 Love a friend, and keep faith with him: But if you reveal his secrets, You shall not pursue after him;
18 For as a man has destroyed his enemy, So have you destroyed the friendship of your neighbor.
19 And as a bird which you have loosed out of your hand, So have you let your neighbor go, and you will not catch him again:
20 Pursue him not, for he is gone far away, And has escaped as a gazelle out of the snare.
21 For a wound may be bound up, and after reviling there may be a reconcilement; But he that reveals secrets has lost hope.
