11. A fool will travail in pain with a word, As a woman in labor with a child.
12. As an arrow that sticks in the flesh of the thigh, So is a word in a fool’s belly.
13. Reprove a friend; it may be he did it not: And if he did something, that he may do it no more.
14. Reprove your neighbor; it may be he said it not: And if he has said it, that he may not say it again.
15. Reprove a friend; for many times there is slander: And trust not every word.
16. There is one that slips, and not from the heart: And who is he that has not sinned with his tongue?
17. Reprove your neighbor before you threaten him; And give place to the law of the Most High.
20. All wisdom is the fear of the Lord; And in all wisdom is the doing of the law.
