Go not forth hastily to strive, Lestthou know notwhat to do in the end thereof, When thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself, And disclose not the secret of another;
Lest he that heareth it revile thee, And thine infamy turn not away.

Asan ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, So isa wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, So isa faithful messenger to them that send him; For he refresheth the soul of his masters.
As clouds and wind without rain, So ishe that boasteth himself of his gifts falsely.
