HOW much better is it to reprove, than to be angry, and not to hinder him that confesseth in prayer.
2
The lust of an eunuch shall devour a young maiden:
3
So is he that by violence executeth unjust judgment.
4
How good is it, when thou art reproved, to shew repentance! for so thou shalt escape wilful sin.
5
There is one that holdeth his peace, that is found wise: and there is another that is hateful, that is bold in speech.
6
There is one that holdeth his peace, because he knoweth not what to say: and there is another that holdeth his peace, knowing the proper time.
7
A wise man will hold his peace till he see opportunity: but a babbler, and a fool, will regard no time.
8
He that useth many words shall hurt his own soul: and he that taketh authority to himself unjustly shall be hated.
9
There is success in evil things to a man without discipline, and there is a finding that turneth to loss.
10
There is a gift that is not profitable: and there is a gift, the recompense of which is double.
