3  Let not ^ksteadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;

^lbind them around your neck;

write them on the tablet of your heart.

4  So you will find favor and ^mgood success¹

in the sight of God and man.

1  ^eA good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,

and favor is better than silver or gold.

9  ^zArgue your case with your neighbor himself,

and do not reveal another’s secret,

10  lest he who hears you bring shame upon you,

and your ill repute have no end.
