{20:1} How much better is it to reprove, than to become angry, so as not to hinder him who may confess in prayer.
{20:2} The lust of an eunuch will deflower a young maiden;
{20:3} similar is he who by violence gives an iniquitous judgment.
{20:4} How good it is, when you are corrected, to show contrition! For in this way, you will escape deliberate sin.
{20:5} There is one who, by remaining silent, is found to be wise. And there is another who is hateful and who provokes by speaking out.
{20:6} There is one who, not having the understanding to speak, remains silent. And there is another who remains silent, knowing the proper time.
{20:7} A wise man will remain silent until the proper time. But an unrestrained and imprudent person will not heed the times.

{19:22} There is a certain cleverness, and it is unjust.
{19:23} And there is one who utters a careful word, explaining away the truth. There is one who humbles himself wickedly, for his interior is filled with deceit.
{19:24} And there is one who lowers himself excessively with a great debasement. And there is one who inclines his face downward, and pretends as if he did not see what has not been made known.
{19:25} And if he is prevented from sinning by a lack of ability, and then finds an opportunity for evildoing, he will do evil.
{19:26} A man is recognized by his appearances. But when you meet an understanding man, he is recognized by his face.
{19:27} The clothing of the body, and the laughter of the teeth, and the walk of a man, give a report about him.
{19:28} There is a lying correction in the anger of a contemptuous man. And there is a judgment which does not prove to be good. But there is one who is silent, and the same is prudent.
