14 My children, keep instruction in peace: But wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, What profit is in them both?
15 Better is a man that hides his foolishness Than a man that hides his wisdom.
16 Wherefore show reverence to my word: For it is not good to retain every kind of shame; And not all things are approved by all in good faith.
17 Be ashamed of whoredom before father and mother: And of a lie before a prince and a mighty man;
18 Of an offence before a judge and ruler; Of iniquity before the congregation and the people; Of unjust dealing before a partner and friend;
19 And of theft in regard of the place where you sojourn, And in regard of the truth of God and his covenant; And of leaning with your elbow at meat; And of scurrility in the matter of giving and taking;
20 And of silence before them that salute you; And of looking upon a woman that is a harlot;
