15 But be continually with a holy man, with anyone whom you know to observe the fear of God,
16 whose soul is in agreement with your own soul, and who, when you falter in the dark, will share your sorrows.
17 And establish a heart of good counsel within yourself. For there is nothing of greater usefulness to you than this.
18 At any time, the soul of a holy man declares more truths than seven vigilant watchmen sitting in a high place.
19 But concerning all things, pray to the Most High, so that he may direct your way in truth.
20 In all your works, let a true word precede you, with steadfast counsel before every deed.
21 A wicked word can change the heart. From the heart four kinds of things arise: good and evil, life and death. And the tongue is continually their ruler. There is a man who is an astute teacher of many, and yet this is useless to his own soul.
