Sirach 27:24LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 24 of 33
"But to disclose the secrets of a friend, leaveth no hope to an unhappy soul."
In context
22Follow after him no more, for he is gone afar off, he is fled, as a roe escaped out of the snare: because his soul is wounded.
23Thou canst no more bind him up. And of a curse there is reconciliation:
24But to disclose the secrets of a friend, leaveth no hope to an unhappy soul.
25He that winketh with the eye forgeth wicked things, and no man will cast him off:
26In the sight of thy eyes he will sweeten his mouth, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and on thy words he will lay a stumblingblock.
