9. Winnow not with every wind, And walk not in every path: Thus does the sinner that has a double tongue.
10. Be stedfast in your understanding; And let your word be one.
11. Be swift to hear; And with patience make your answer.
12. If you have understanding, answer your neighbor; And if not, let your hand be upon your mouth.
13. Glory and dishonor is in talk: And the tongue of a man is his fall.
14. Be not called a whisperer; And lie not in wait with your tongue: For upon the thief there is shame, And an evil condemnation upon him that has a double tongue.
15. In a great matter and in a small, be not ignorant;
