Selected Proverbs of Ahikar The Wise 1. Hear, O my son Nadan, and come to the understanding of me, and be mindful of my words, as the words of God. 2. My son Nadan, if thou hast heard a word, let it die in thy heart, and reveal it to no man; lest it become a hot coal in thy mouth and burn thee, and thou lay a blemish on thy soul, and be angered against God. 3. My son, do not tell all that thou hearest, and do not disclose all that thou seest. 4. My son, do not loose a knot that is sealed, and do not seal one that is loosed. 5. My son, commit not adultery with the wife of thy neighbor; lest others should commit adultery with thy wife. 6.
