I am crying out to you, O men; my voice comes to the sons of men. Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart. Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright. For good faith goes out of my mouth, and false lips are disgusting to me.
