15 Question a friend, because it oftenturns out to be a false accusation.Don’t trust everything that is said.
16 There are those who slip,and it wasn’t intentional.Who hasn’t sinned with the tongue?
17 Question your neighborbefore issuing a threat,and give the Law of the Most Highits place.
20 Fearing the Lord is the whole of wisdom,and all wisdom involvesdoing the Law.
22 The knowledge of wickednessisn’t wisdom,and there is no prudencein the advice that sinners give.
23 There is a kind of clevernessthat is detestable,and there is a senseless personwho lacks wisdom.
24 Someone who fears Godbut who has inferior intelligenceis better than someonewho abounds in intelligencebut who violates the Law.
