1 There is a bad timeto rebuke someone.Those who keep silentare the prudent ones.
2 How much better to investigatethan to be angry!
3 And those who confess openlywill be kept from loss.
4 Like eunuchs desiring to violate a girl,so are those who make decisionsby force.
5 There are people who are silentand are found to be wise,and there are those who are hatedbecause they talk a lot.
