⁹ Treat thy cause with thy friend, and show thou not (a) private (matter) to a strange man;

¹⁰ lest peradventure he have joy of thy fall (lest perhaps he have joy over thy fall), when he hath heard (of it), and cease not to do shame to thee.

¹¹ (As) A golden pommel in beds of silver is he, that speaketh a word in his time. (Like a golden apple in beds of silver, is a word spoken at its proper time.)
