3. That thou mayst rejoice for them, and receive a crown as an ornament of grace, and get the honour of the contribution.

4. Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee,

5. To speak the first word with care knowledge, and hinder not music.

6. Where there is no hearing, pour out words, and be not lifted up out season with thy wisdom.
