7. Blame not before you have examined: Understand first, and then rebuke.
8. Answer not before you have heard; And interrupt not in the midst of speech.
9. Strive not in a matter that concerns you not; And where sinners judge, sit not you with them.
10. My son, be not busy about many matters: For if you meddle much, you shall not be unpunished; And if you pursue, you shall not overtake; And you shall not escape by fleeing.
11. There is one that toileth, and labores, and makes haste, And is so much the more behind.
