11Be swift to heare, and let thy life be sincere, & with patience giue answere. 12If thou hast vnderstanding, answer thy neighbour, if not, lay thy hand vpon thy mouth. 13Honour and shame is in talke; and the tongue of man is his fall. 14Be not called a whisperer, and lye not in wait with thy tongue: for a foule shame is vpon the thiefe, and an euill condemnation vpon the double tongue. 15Be not ignorant of any thing, in a great matter or a small.
