³ Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you.
Tie them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.^(A)
4 Then you will find favor and high regard
with God and people.^(B)

⁹ Make your case with your opponent
without revealing another’s secret;^(A)
10 otherwise, the one who hears will disgrace you,
and you’ll never live it down.^[a]
