it is better for a man to hide his foolishness than hide his wisdom.
Therefore, feel shame according to what I say.it is not always fitting to feel shame but this is not understood by everyone.
Be ashamed of licentiousness before your parents and of lie before a ruler or an important person. Be ashamed of criminal behaviour before a judge and of iniquity before an assembly of people. Feel ashamed of Dishonesty before your partner or friend and of a theft in the place where you live. Be ashamed before the truth of God and his covenant. Be ashamed of keeping the loaves for yourselves ,of being unable to give and to receive ,of not returning a greeting,of staring at a prostitute ,of rejecting a compatriot,of depriving someone of what is his, of gazing at another man's wife ,do not follow up a gift with a reproach ,of repeating what you have heard and betraying secrets
On these occasions feel genuine shame and you will be respected by all.But do not let yourself be led astray by any of the things that follow.
Do not be ashamed of the law of the most High and his covenant, of judging the wicked fairly ,of keeping accounts with a travelling companion and of sharing your inheritance with friends, of checking weights and scales ,of making a profit whether small or great,of bargaining with traders and strict with children.Do not be ashamed of correcting someone who is foolish or stupid or an old man who has become childish
Doing that, you prove that you are a well educated person and you will be generally respected.
The misery of human life
Painful is the lot of all humans,a heavy yoke is upon the sons of Adam from the day they leave their mothers womb to the day they return to the mother of us all. What is on their mind ,what they fear in their heart, is the day of their death .
From the king ,glorious on his throne ,robed in purple and wearing a crown to the lowliest person sitting in dust and ashes and covered with sackcloth, there is anger,envy,trouble and unrest,fear of death, rivalry and quarrels .
And at night when we lie down we have fresh worries : scarcely are we at rest and asleep when we are troubled by dreams as vivid as if it were day and we were fleeing from a battle. When it is time to wake up ,we feel surprised to find that there is nothing to fear.
Everything that comes from the earth goes back to the earth and what comes from the water return to the sea.
The name of a man who has children or established a town will live on but to have found wisdom is a greater good. Owing a cattle and plantations brings fame but a perfect wife is a richer blessing.
Gold and silver make for security but good advice is better.
