Do not go out hastily to plead your case;
Lest, what will you do in the end,
When your neighbor humiliates you?
Plead your case with your neighbor,
And do not reveal the secret of another,
Lest he who hears it bring disgrace upon you,
And the bad report about you will not turn away.

Like a city that is broken into and without a wall
Is a man without restraint over his spirit.
