20. Observe the opportunity, and beware of evil; And be not ashamed concerning your soul.
21. For there is a shame that brings sin; And there is a shame that is glory and grace.
22. Accept not the person of any against your soul; And reverence no man to your falling.
23. Refrain not speech, when it tendeth to safety; And hide not your wisdom for the sake of fair-seeming.
24. For by speech wisdom shall be known; And instruction by the word of the tongue.
25. Speak not against the truth; And be abashed for your ignorance.
26. Be not ashamed to make confession of your sins; And force not the current of the river.
27. Lay not yourself down for a fool to tread upon; And accept not the person of one that is mighty.
28. Strive for the truth to death, and the Lord God shall fight for you.
