7 Never repeat what is told you, And you shall fare never the worse.
8 Whether it be of friend or foe, tell it not; And unless it is a sin to you, reveal it not.
9 For he has heard you, and observed you, And when the time comes he will hate you.
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.
