^9 (A)Plead your case with your neighbor,
And ^(B)do not reveal the secret of another,
¹⁰ Lest he who hears it bring disgrace upon you,
And the bad report about you will not turn away.

¹⁴ Like ^(A)clouds and ^(B)wind without rain
Is a man who boasts ^[a]of his gifts falsely.

¹⁸ Like a club and a ^(A)sword and a sharp ^(B)arrow
Is a man who bears ^[a](C)false witness against his neighbor.

²³ The north wind brings forth rain,
And a ^(A)tongue of secrets, an indignant face.
