16. Wherefore show reverence to my word: For it is not good to retain every kind of shame; And not all things are approved by all in good faith.
17. Be ashamed of whoredom before father and mother: And of a lie before a prince and a mighty man;
18. Of an offence before a judge and ruler; Of iniquity before the congregation and the people; Of unjust dealing before a partner and friend;
19. And of theft in regard of the place where you sojourn, And in regard of the truth of God and his covenant; And of leaning with your elbow at meat; And of scurrility in the matter of giving and taking;
20. And of silence before them that salute you; And of looking upon a woman that is a harlot;
21. And of turning away your face from a kinsman; Of taking away a portion or a gift; And of gazing upon a woman that has a husband;
22. Of being over busy with his maid; and come not near her bed; Of upbraiding speeches before friends; And after you have given, upbraid not;
23. Of repeating and speaking what you have heard; And of revealing of secrets.
