21. According to thy power beware of thy neighbor, and treat with the wise and prudent.
22. Let just men be thy guests, and let thy glory be in the fear of God.
23. And let the thought of God be in thy mind, and all thy discourse on the commandments of the Highest.
24. Works shall be praised for the hand of the artificers, and the prince of the people for the wisdom of his speech, but word of the ancients for the sense.
25. A man full of tongue is terrible in his city, and he that is rash in his word shall be hateful.
