10 Hast you heard a word? let it die with you: Be of good courage, it will not burst you.
11 A fool will travail in pain with a word, As a woman in labor with a child.
12 As an arrow that sticks in the flesh of the thigh, So is a word in a fool’s belly.
13 Reprove a friend; it may be he did it not: And if he did something, that he may do it no more.
14 Reprove your neighbor; it may be he said it not: And if he has said it, that he may not say it again.
15 Reprove a friend; for many times there is slander: And trust not every word.
16 There is one that slips, and not from the heart: And who is he that has not sinned with his tongue?
