Chapter 3 (prudence in speech)  
     
1.
Do not start a quarrel with a hot-mouthed man,
 
2.
nor needle him with words.
 
3.
Pause before an intruder, bend before an attacker,
 
4.
sleep on it before speaking.
 
5.
A storm that bursts like fire in straw,
 
6.
such is the heated man in his hour.
 
7.
Withdraw from him, leave him alone.
 
8.
If You make your life with these words in your heart,
 
9.
Your children will observe them.
