4Take away the rust from silver, and there shall come forth a most pure vessel:
5Take away wickedness from the face of the king, and his throne shall be established with justice.
6Appear not glorious before the king, and stand not in the place of great men.
7For it is better that it should be said to thee: Come up hither; than that thou shouldst be humbled before the prince.
8The things which thy eyes have seen, utter not hastily in a quarrel: lest afterward thou mayst not be able to make amends, when thou hast dishonoured thy friend.
9Treat thy cause with thy friend, and discover not the secret to a stranger:
10Lest he insult over thee, when he hath heard it, and cease not to upbraid thee. Grace and friendship deliver a man: keep these for thyself, lest thou fall under reproach.
11To speak a word in due time, is like apples of gold on beds of silver.
12As an earring of gold and a bright pearl, so is he that reproveth the wise, and the obedient ear.
13As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to him that sent him, for he refresheth his soul.
14As clouds, and wind, when no rain followeth, so is the man that boasteth, and doth not fulfill his promises.
15By patience a prince shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.
16Thou hast found honey, eat what is sufficient for thee, lest being glutted therewith thou vomit it up.
