Hear in silence, and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee.
10
Young man, scarcely speak in thy own cause.
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.
