17. Whoever discloses the secret of a friend breaks faith; and he will not find a friend for his soul.
18. Love your neighbor, and be united with him faithfully.
19. But if you disclose his secrets, you should not continue to follow after him.
20. For like a man who destroys his friend, so also is he who destroys the friendship of his neighbor.
21. And like someone releasing a bird from his hand, so have you abandoned your neighbor, and you will not obtain him again.
22. You should no longer seek him, for he is now far away; he has fled like a roe-deer from a snare. For his soul has been wounded.
