8 Be brief, say much in few words;be knowledgeable and yet quiet.
9 When among elders do not be forward,and with officials do not be too insistent.
10 The lightning that flashes before a hailstorm:the esteem that shines on modesty.
11 Leave in good time and do not be the last;go home quickly without delay.
12 There enjoy doing as you wish,but do not sin through words of pride.
13 Above all, bless your Maker,who showers his favors upon you.
14 Whoever seeks God must accept discipline;and whoever resorts to him obtains an answer.
