20. My son, watch for the right time; fear what is evil;do not bring shame upon yourself.
21. There is a shame heavy with guilt,and a shame that brings glory and respect.
22. Show no favoritism to your own discredit;let no one intimidate you to your own downfall.
23. Do not refrain from speaking at the proper time,and do not hide your wisdom;
24. For wisdom becomes known through speech,and knowledge through the tongue’s response.
