Sirach 6:4-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. For a wicked soul will destroy the one who has it. For it gladly provides enemies to him, and it will lead him to the fate of the impious.

5. A sweet word multiplies friends and mitigates enemies. And thankful words abound in a good man.

6. Allow many to be at peace with you, but allow one out of a thousand to be your counselor.
