Sirach 19:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh: so is a word in the heart of a fool.

¹³ Reprove a friend, lest he may not have understood, and say: I did it not: or if he did it, that he may do it no more.

¹⁴ Reprove thy neighbour, for it may be he hath not said it: and if he hath said it, that he may not say it again.
