8Do not quickly go to a court to tell the judge about something that you have seen, because another witness may later say something that proves that you are wrong, and as a result you will be disgraced/ashamed. If that happens, ◄what will you do?/you will not know what to do.► RHQ
9If you and someone else think differently about some matter, settle it between yourselves, and do not tell others any secret that he has told you.
10If others find out that you have told secrets, you will be ashamed, and from that time on, ◄you will have a bad reputation/people will think badly about you►.
11Something that is said that is very appropriate is as delightful as seeing SIM gold apples/ornaments in a silver bowl.
12When a wise person rebukes/warns someone SYN who is willing to listen, that is as valuable as SIM a gold ring or a gold chain.
13A messenger who ◄is reliable/tells someone else exactly what he was told to say► refreshes the spirits of his bosses who sent him like SIM ◄snow/cold water► refreshes the ground at the time that people harvest crops.
14When someone promises to give a gift to us but never gives it, that disappoints us as much as SIM clouds and wind that come but do not bring any rain.
15If someone keeps requesting a ruler long enough to do something, he will often agree to do it; similarly, by speaking MTY gently we can often convince others that what we say is right IDM.
16If you find some honey, do not eat a lot of it, because doing that may cause you to vomit.
17Do not go to your neighbor's house very often to talk with him; if you go very often, he will get tired of listening to you and start to hate you.
18To falsely accuse others in court is like SIM attacking them with a war-club or a sword or a sharp arrow.
19Depending on unreliable people when you have troubles is as bad as trying to eat when you have a bad/hurting tooth or trying to walk when your foot is crippled.
