3 Decay and worms will possess him,and his reckless soul will be carried away.
4 Those who trust others too quicklyhave empty heads,and those who sin injure themselves.
5 Those who rejoice in wickednesswill be condemned.
6 And those who are reticent to speakdiminish wickedness.
7 Never repeat something that you’ve heard,and you will not lose anything.
8 Don’t report it to a friend or an enemy,and, as long as it wouldn’t be a sin for you, don’t reveal it.
9 People might hear you or observe you,and in time they will hate you.
