Sirach 27:16-20

{27:16} The shedding of blood is in the quarrels of the arrogant; and their evil talk is grievous to hear.
{27:17} Whoever discloses the secret of a friend breaks faith; and he will not find a friend for his soul.
{27:18} Love your neighbor, and be united with him faithfully.
{27:19} But if you disclose his secrets, you should not continue to follow after him.
{27:20} For like a man who destroys his friend, so also is he who destroys the friendship of his neighbor.
