22 Don’t show partiality to your own hurt,and don’t show respectto your own downfall.
23 Don’t keep from speakingin a time of need,
24 for wisdom will show itselfin one’s speech,and education through one’s words.
25 Don’t contradict the truth,but don’t be ashamedwhen you don’t know the answer.
26 Don’t be ashamed to confess your sins,and don’t force the flow of a river.
27 Don’t lower yourself before a fool,and don’t show partialitytoward the powerful.
28 Fight to the death on behalf of truth,and the Lord God will fight for you.
