i found one really awesome passage in Sirach while i was reading it for my Bible study class. it's Sirach 22:25-26. "I will not be ashamed to protect a friend, and I will not hide from him; but if some harm should happen to me because of him, whoever hears of it will beware of him." (RSV) another translation is, "From a friend in need of support no one need hide in shame; but from him who brings harm to his friend all will stand aloof who hear of it." (NAB) personally, i prefer the first translation. it really struck me when i was reading it, especially with the mess of my head. this passage just seemed to fit my current time in life. whoever says that the Bible is a bunch of hogwash and has no relevant passages obviously hasn't read it.
