1
HAVE they made thee ruler? be not lifted up: be among them as one of them.
2
Have care of them, and so sit down, and when thou hast acquitted thyself of all thy charge, take thy place :
3
That thou mayst rejoice for them, and receive a crown as an ornament of grace, and get the honour of the contribution.
4
Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee,
5
To speak the first word with care knowledge, and hinder not music.
6
Where there is no hearing, pour out words, and be not lifted up out season with thy wisdom.
7
concert of music in a banquet wine is as a carbuncle set in gold.
8
As a signet of an emerald in a work of gold: so is the melody of music with pleasant and moderate wine.
9
Hear in silence, and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee.
