⁹ If you take your neighbor to court,
    do not betray another’s confidence,
¹⁰ or the one who hears it may shame you
    and the charge against you will stand.

¹⁴ Like clouds and wind without rain
    is one who boasts of gifts never given.

¹⁸ Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow
    is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor.^(A)

²³ Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
    is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
