7. Speak, young man, if there be need of you; Yet scarcely if you be twice asked.
8. Sum up your speech, many things in few words; Be as one that knows and yet holds his tongue.
9. If you be among great men, behave not as their equal; And when another is speaking, make not much babbling.
10. Before thunder speedeth lightning; And before a shamefast man favor shall go forth.
11. Rise up betimes, and be not the last; Get you home quickly and loiter not:
12. There take your pastime, and do what is in your heart; And sin not by proud speech:
13. And for these things bless him that made you, And gives you to drink freely of his good things.
14. He that fears the Lord will receive his discipline; And they that seek him early shall find favor.
15. He that seeks the law shall be filled therewith: But the hypocrite shall stumble thereat.
16. They that fear the Lord shall find judgement, And shall kindle righteous acts as a light.
