10 Hast thou heard a word against thy neighbour? let it die within thee, trusting that it will not burst thee.
11 At the hearing of a word the fool is in travail, as a woman groaning in the bringing forth a child.
12 As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh: so is a word in the heart of a fool.
13 Reprove a friend, lest he may not have understood, and say: f did it not: or if he did it, that he may do it no more.
14 Reprove thy neighbour, for it may be he hath not said it: and if he hath said it, that he may not say it again.
15 Admonish thy friend: for there is often a fault committed.
16 And believe not every word. There is one, that slippeth with the tongue, but not from his heart.
