5 If wickedness makes you happy, you will be condemned.
6 Avoid idle talk, and you will avoid a lot of trouble.
7 Never repeat what you hear, and you will have no regrets.
8 Don't tell it to your friends or your enemies unless it would be sinful to keep it to yourself.
9 Whoever hears you will take notice of it, and sooner or later will hate you for it.
10 Have you heard a rumour? Let it die with you. Be brave! It won't make you explode.
11 A foolish person trying to keep a secret suffers like a woman in labour.
