Sirach 6:5DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 5 of 37
"A sweet word multiplieth friends, and appeaseth enemies, and a gracious tongue in a good man aboundeth."
In context
3And it eat up thy leaves, and destroy thy fruit: and thou be left as a dry tree in the wilderness.
4For a wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and maketh him to be a joy to his enemies, and shall lead him into the lot of the wicked.
5A sweet word multiplieth friends, and appeaseth enemies, and a gracious tongue in a good man aboundeth.
6Be in peace with many, but let one of a thousand be thy counsellor.
7If thou wouldst get a friend, try him before thou takest him, and do not credit him easily.
