6
He that sinneth against his own soul, shall repent: and he that is delighted with wickedness, shall be condemned.
7
Rehearse not again a wicked and harsh word, and thou shalt not fare the worse.
8
Tell not thy mind to friend or foe: and if there be a sin with thee, disclose it not.
9
For he will hearken to thee, and will witch thee, and as it were defending thy sin he will hate thee, and so will he be with thee always.
10
Hast thou heard a word against thy neighbour? let it die within thee, trusting that it will not burst thee.
11
At the hearing of a word the fool is in travail, as a woman groaning. in the bringing forth a child.
12
As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh: so is a word in the heart of a fool.
13
Reprove a friend, lest he may not have understood, and say : f did it not: or if he did it, that he may do it no more.
14
Reprove thy neighbour, for it may be he hath not said it: and if he hath said it, that he may not say it again.
15
Admonish thy friend: for there is often a fault committed.
16
And believe not every word. There is one, that slippeth with the tongue, but not from his heart.
