Preserving friendship

19 Whoever pricks an eye
will make tears flow,
    and whoever pricks a heart
    reveals its feelings.
20 Whoever throws a stone at birds
scares them off,
    and whoever insults a friend
    breaks up a friendship.
21 If you draw a sword on a friend,
    don’t despair,
    because there can be a way back.
