Indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head
And ornaments about your neck.

When you walk about, they will guide you;
When you sleep, they will watch over you;
And when you awake, they will talk to you.

He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets,
But he who is trustworthy conceals a matter.

He who is steadfast in righteousness will attain to life,
And he who pursues evil will bring about his own death.

He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets,
Therefore do not associate with a gossip.

Or he who hears it will reproach you,
And the evil report about you will not pass away.

Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
