26
Do not be ashamed to confess your sins, and do not try to stop the current of a river.
27
Do not subject yourself to a foolish fellow, nor show partiality to a ruler.
28
Strive even to death for the truth and the Lord God will fight for you.
29
Do not be reckless in your speech, or sluggish and remiss in your deeds.
30
Do not be like a lion in your home, nor be a faultfinder with your servants.
