1 There is an admonition that is untimely,but the silent person is the wise one.
2 It is much better to admonish than to lose one’s temper;
3 one who admits a fault will be kept from disgrace.
4 Like a eunuch lusting to violate a young womanis the one who does right under compulsion.
5 One is silent and is thought wise;another, for being talkative, is disliked.
6 One is silent, having nothing to say;another is silent, biding his time.
