⁹ Give instruction^[a] to a wise man, and he will be ^(A)still wiser;
    teach a righteous man, and he will ^(B)increase in learning.

39 I said, “I will ^(B)guard my ways,
    that I ^(C)may not sin with my tongue;
I will ^(D)guard my mouth with a muzzle,
    so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
² I was ^(E)mute and silent;
    I held my peace to no avail,
and my distress grew worse.

² I will say to God, Do not ^(A)condemn me;
    let me know why you ^(B)contend against me.
