Sirach 22:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁹ One who pricks the eye brings tears,
    and one who pricks the heart makes clear its feelings.
²⁰ One who throws a stone at birds scares them away,
    and one who reviles a friend destroys a friendship.^(A)
21 Even if you draw your sword against a friend,
    do not despair, for there is a way back.
