7 Speak, young man, if there be need of you; Yet scarcely if you be twice asked.
8 Sum up your speech, many things in few words; Be as one that knows and yet holds his tongue.
9 If you be among great men, behave not as their equal; And when another is speaking, make not much babbling.
10 Before thunder speedeth lightning; And before a shamefast man favor shall go forth.
11 Rise up betimes, and be not the last; Get you home quickly and loiter not:
12 There take your pastime, and do what is in your heart; And sin not by proud speech:
13 And for these things bless him that made you, And gives you to drink freely of his good things.
