Do not find fault before you investigate; examine first, and then criticize.
8
Do not answer before you listen, and do not interrupt when another is speaking.
9
Do not argue about a matter that does not concern you, and do not sit with sinners when they judge a case.
10
My child, do not busy yourself with many matters; if you multiply activities, you will not be held blameless. If you pursue, you will not overtake, and by fleeing you will not escape.
11
There are those who work and struggle and hurry, but are so much the more in want.
