[1] Don’t set your heart upon your goods.
Don’t say, “They are sufficient for me.”
[2] Don’t follow your own mind and your strength
to walk in the desires of your heart.
[3] Don’t say, “Who will have dominion over me?”
for the Lord will surely take vengeance on you. [4] Don’t say, “I sinned, and what happened to me?”
for the Lord is patient.
[5] Don’t be so confident of atonement
that you add sin upon sins.
[6] Don’t say, “His compassion is great.
He will be pacified for the multitude of my sins,”
for mercy and wrath are with him,
and his indignation will rest on sinners.
[7] Don’t wait to turn to the Lord.
Don’t put off from day to day;
for suddenly the wrath of the Lord will come on you,
and you will perish in the time of vengeance. [8] Don’t set your heart upon unrighteous gains,
for you will profit nothing in the day of calamity.
[9] Don’t winnow with every wind.
Don’t walk in every path.
This is what the sinner who has a double tongue does.
[10] Be steadfast in your understanding.
Let your speech be consistent. [11] Be swift to hear
and answer with patience.
[12] If you have understanding, answer your neighbor;
but if not, put your hand over your mouth.
[13] Glory and dishonor is in talk.
A man’s tongue may be his downfall.
[14] Don’t be called a whisperer.
Don’t lie in wait with your tongue;
for shame is on the thief,
and an evil condemnation is on him who has a double tongue.
[15] Don’t be ignorant in a great or small matter.

G1557 [4] Μὴ G3361 εἴπῃς G2036 Ἥμαρτον, G264 καὶ G2532 τί G5101 μοι G3427 ἐγένετο; G1096 Ὁ G3588 γὰρ G1063 κύριός G2962 ἐστιν G2076 μακρόθυμος.

G3056 [11] Γίνου G1096 ταχὺς G5036 ἐν G1722 ἀκροάσει σου G4675 καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 μακροθυμίᾳ G3115 φθέγγου G5350 ἀπόκρισιν. G612 [12] Εἰ G1487 ἔστιν G2076 σοι G4671 σύνεσις, G4907 ἀποκρίθητι G611 τῷ G3588 πλησίον· G4139 εἰ G1487 δὲ G1161 μή, G3361 ἡ G3588 χείρ G5495 σου G4675 ἔστω G2077 ἐπὶ G1909 τῷ G3588 στόματί G4750 σου. G4675 [13] Δόξα G1391 καὶ G2532 ἀτιμία G819 ἐν G1722 λαλιᾷ, G2981 καὶ G2532 γλῶσσα G1100 ἀνθρώπου G444 πτῶσις G4431 αὐτῷ.
