Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will discover good.

Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die.

If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.
