³ Don’t ·ever forget kindness and truth [^Llet loyalty and faithfulness abandon you].
    ·Wear [Bind] them ·like a necklace [^Lon your neck].
    Write them on your heart as if on a tablet.
⁴ Then you will ·be respected [find favor]
    and will please both God and people.

22 ·Being respected [^LA good name/reputation] is more important than having great riches.
·To be well thought of [High esteem] is better than silver or gold [Eccl. 7:1].

⁹ ·If you have an argument with [^LMake your accusations against] your neighbor,
    ·don’t tell other people what was said [keep it a secret from others].
¹⁰ Whoever hears it might shame you,
    and ·you might not ever be respected again [^Lthe slander against you will never stop].
