11
If thou be asked twice, let thy answer be short.
12
In many things be as if thou wert ignorant, and hear in silence and withal seeking.
13
In the company of great men bake not upon thee: and when the ancients are present, speak not much.
14
Before a storm goeth lightning: and before shamefacedness goeth favour: and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee.
15
And at the time of rising be not slack: but be first to run home to thy house, and there withdraw thyself, and there take thy pastime.
16
And do what thou hast a mind, but not in sin or proud speech.
17
And for all these things bless the Lord, that made thee, and that replenisheth thee with all his good things.
18
He that feareth the Lord, will receive his discipline: and they that will seek him early, shall find a blessing.
19
He that seeketh the law, shall be filled with it: and he that dealeth deceitfully, shall meet with a stumblingblock therein.
20
They that fear the Lord, shall find just judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light.
21
A sinful man will flee reproof, and will find an excuse according to his will.
