One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.

One rebuking a scorner gets shame to himself; and one rebuking a wicked one gets himself a blemish.

There is one that scatters, and yet increases; and there is one that withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.

There is one that makes himself rich, yet has nothing: there is one that makes himself poor, yet has great riches.

So it is with the one who sleeps with
another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.

The one who follows instruction is on the path to life,
but the one who rejects correction goes astray.
