However, if I did want to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I am not going to do it in order to keep anyone from thinking more of me than what he sees and hears about me.





The one who comes to visit me speaks lies; in his heart he thinks slanderous things about me and goes around spreading them.




The one who comes to visit me speaks lies; in his heart he thinks slanderous things about me and goes around spreading them.
