⁹ Argue your case with your neighbor directly,
    and do not disclose another’s secret,^(A)
10 or else someone who hears you will bring shame upon you,
    and your ill repute will have no end.

¹⁷ Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house,
    lest the neighbor become weary of you and hate you.
¹⁸ Like a war club, a sword, or a sharp arrow
    is one who bears false witness against a neighbor.^(A)
