- 不要在王面前妄自尊大.不要在大人的位上站立。
- 寧可有人說請你上來、強如在你覲見的王子面前、叫你退下。
- 不要冒失出去與人爭競、免得至終被他羞辱、你就不知道怎樣行了。
- 你與鄰舍爭訟、要與他一人辯論.不可洩漏人的密事.
- 恐怕聽見的人罵你、你的臭名就難以脫離。

- Do not claim honor in the presence of the king, And do not stand in the place of great men;
- For it is better that it be said to you, "Come up here," Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of the prince, Whom your eyes have seen.
- Do not go out hastily to argue your case; Otherwise, what will you do in the end, When your neighbor humiliates you?
- Argue your case with your neighbor, And do not reveal the secret of another,
- Or he who hears it will reproach you, And the evil report about you will not pass away.
