懦者起之、危者扶之、

明心可以言慧、巽言可以輔人、智者所得、生命之泉、愚者所聽、暗昧之詞。心具智慧、則所言足以訓人。良言若蜜、既甘且益。

爾之慰藉無益、爾之言語差謬。

如曰不然、試與我辨、指我言之剌謬。

應對以時、猶金果置於銀筐。

又見三友無一言確指約百之非、而漫加以罪、怒益甚。

生死之機、在於出口、言必獲報。

我所云嘉言也、所錄實語也、哲士之言、譬諸刺、譬諸釘、一主所諭、眾師所傳。

愚人之舌如鋒刃、智人之言若良藥。

爾不如緘口勿語、則猶可藏拙。

虛誕之詞、可已而不已、孰使爾嘵嘵舌戰耶。浸假爾與我易地以處、則我亦能長言以責爾、搖首以欺爾。然我不為也、必以口強爾志、以舌解爾憂。
