9. If you⌃ be born, you⌃ shall be born to a curse; If you⌃ die, a curse shall be your portion.
10. All things that are of the earth shall go back to the earth: So the ungodly shall go from a curse to perdition.
11. The mourning of men is about their bodies: But the name of sinners being evil shall be blotted out.
12. Have regard to your name; For it continueth with you longer than a thousand great treasures of gold.
13. A good life has its number of days; And a good name continueth for ever.
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;
