3
And he that joineth himself to harlots, will be wicked. Rottenness and worms shall inherit him, and he shall be lifted up for a greater example, and his soul shall be taken away out of the number.
4
He that is hasty to give credit, is light of heart, and shall be lessened: and he that sinneth against his own soul, shall be despised.
5
He that rejoiceth in iniquity, shall be censured, and he that hateth chastisement, shall have less life: and he that hateth babbling, extinguisheth evil.
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.
