Ecclesiasticus 22:18 Context
16As timber girt and bound together in a building, cannot be loosed with shaking: so the heart that is stablished by aduised counsel, shal feare at no time. 17A heart setled vpon a thought of vnderstanding, is as a faire plaistering on the wall of a gallerie. 18Pales set on an high place will neuer stand against the wind: so a feareful heart in the imagination of a foole, can not stand against any feare. 19He that pricketh the eye, wil make teares to fall: and he that pricketh the heart, maketh it to shewe her knowledge. 20Who so casteth a stone at the birds, frayeth them away, and he that vpbraideth his friend, breaketh friendship.
