5:4 Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me? for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go. 5:5 Concerning propitiation, be not without fear to add sin unto sin: 5:6 And say not His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon sinners. 5:7 Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance. 5:8 Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten, for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity. 5:9 Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue. 5:10 Be stedfast in thy understanding; and let thy word be the same. 5:11 Be swift to hear; and let thy life be sincere; and with patience give answer. 5:12 If thou hast understanding, answer thy neighbour; if not, lay thy hand upon thy mouth. 5:13 Honour and shame is in talk: and the tongue of man is his fall. 5:14 Be not called a whisperer, and lie not in wait with thy tongue: for a foul shame is upon the thief, and an evil condemnation upon the double tongue. 5:15 Be not ignorant of any thing in a great matter or a small. 6:1 Instead of a friend become not an enemy; for [thereby] thou shalt inherit an ill name, shame, and reproach: even so shall a sinner that hath a double tongue. 6:2 Extol not thyself in the counsel of thine own heart; that thy soul be not torn in pieces as a bull [straying alone.] 6:3 Thou shalt eat up thy leaves, and lose thy fruit, and leave thyself as a dry tree. 6:4 A wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and shall make him to be laughed to scorn of his enemies. 6:5 Sweet language will multiply friends: and a fairspeaking tongue will increase kind greetings. 6:6 Be in peace with many: nevertheless have but one counsellor of a thousand. 6:7 If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first and be not hasty to credit him. 6:8 For some man is a friend for his own occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble. 6:9 And there is a friend, who being turned to enmity, and strife will discover thy reproach. 6:10 Again, some friend is a companion at the table, and will not continue in the day of thy affliction. 6:11 But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will be bold over thy servants. 6:12 If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face. 6:13 Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends. 6:14 A faithfull friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure. 6:15 Nothing doth countervail a faithful friend, and his excellency is invaluable. 6:16 A faithful friend is the medicine of life; and they that fear the Lord shall find him.
