9 Trata tu causa con tu compañero y no descubras el secreto á otro.

10 No sea que te deshonre el que lo oyere, y tu infamia no pueda repararse.

12 [Como] zarcillo de oro y joyel de oro fino, es el que reprende al sabio que tiene oído dócil.

13 Como frío de nieve en tiempo de la siega, [así es] el mensajero fiel á los que lo envían: pues al alma de su señor da refrigerio.
