Sirach 27:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Those who reveal secrets
have destroyed trust,
    and they will never find a friend
    for themselves.
¹⁷ Show affection to friends
and be loyal to them,
    but if you reveal their secrets,
    don’t follow after them.
¹⁸ Just as people destroy an enemy,^[a]
    so you have destroyed your friendship
    with your neighbors.
