Sirach 27:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ Don’t pursue them,
because they have withdrawn
far away from you,
    and they have escaped
    like a gazelle from a trap.
²¹ In the same way that it’s possible
to bandage a wound,
    there’s also reconciliation for insult,
    but the one who has let a friend’s secrets slip out has no hope.
