What does Ecclesiasticus Chapter 27 say, and which statements belong to its speaker?

Ecclesiasticus 27 says poverty has led many to sin and enrichment-seeking turns eyes away. Sin sticks in buying and selling like stake between stones and is destroyed with sinner; without diligent divine fear a house quickly falls. Sifting leaves dust as human perplexity remains in thoughts; furnace tests pottery, affliction just people. Tree dressing shows fruit as words show heart thoughts, so do not praise before speech. Justice-following promises possession, honor-robed dwelling, continual protection and strong foundation at acknowledgment. Truth returns like birds to their kind, sin waits like lion for iniquity-workers, holy wisdom continues like sun while folly changes like moon.

Keep words until their time among unwise people and seek thinkers. Sinful discourse and sinful laughter are hateful; frequent oaths raise hair and irreverence closes ears. Proud quarrels shed blood and curses grieve hearing. Revealing friend's secrets loses credit and expected companionship; love and fidelity are urged. After disclosure do not pursue, since destroying friendship resembles killing a friend or releasing a bird not recovered. The wounded friend flees afar like snare-escaped roe and cannot be bound. Reconciliation follows a curse; the separate edition note explains reconciliation after cursing is easier than after disclosure. Revealed secrets leave the unhappy soul no hope. This preserves the severity and note's comparison rather than an independently established universal psychological law.

An eye-winker forges wickedness and no one casts him off; sweet mouth and admiration precede twisted mouth setting a word-stumblingblock. The speaker particularly hates him and says God will also, without attributing that to every righteous person. Raised stone falls on thrower's head and deceitful blow wounds deceiver. Pit, obstacle and snare trap their maker; wicked counsel rolls back without known origin. Proud mockery and reproach meet lionlike vengeance, rejoicing at just people's fall leads snare and premortal consuming sorrow. Anger and fury are abominable and sinners subject to them. These are the chapter's assertions, not narrated outcomes for an already protected practitioner.
