Ecclesiasticus 22:19 Context
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. 21Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despaire not, for there way be a returning (to fauour.)
