Sirach 22:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 The vapor and smoke of the furnace precede the fire;
so insults precede bloodshed.(A)
25 I am not ashamed to shelter a friend,
and I will not hide from him,
26 but if harm should come to me because of him,
whoever hears of it will beware of him.
