7 Praise no man before you hear him reason; For this is the trial of men.
8 If you follow righteousness, you shall obtain her, And put her on, as a long robe of glory.
9 Birds will resort to their like; And truth will return to them that practise her.
10 The lion lies in wait for prey; So does sin for them that work iniquity.
11 The discourse of a godly man is always wisdom: But the foolish man changes as the moon.
12 Among men void of understanding observe the opportunity; But stay continually among the thoughtful.
13 The discourse of fools is an offence; And their laughter is in the wantonness of sin.
