18. For as a man has destroyed his enemy, So have you destroyed the friendship of your neighbor.
19. And as a bird which you have loosed out of your hand, So have you let your neighbor go, and you will not catch him again:
20. Pursue him not, for he is gone far away, And has escaped as a gazelle out of the snare.
21. For a wound may be bound up, and after reviling there may be a reconcilement; But he that reveals secrets has lost hope.
22. One that winks with the eye contriveth evil things; And no man will remove him from it.
23. When you are present, he will speak sweetly, And will admire your words; But afterward he will writhe his mouth, And set a trap for you in your words.
24. I have hated many things, but nothing like him; And the Lord will hate him.
25. One that casts a stone on high casts it on his own head; And a deceitful stroke will open wounds.
