3
Don't sow in furrows of injustice, and you won't reap evil things sevenfold.
4
Don't seek political power from the Lord or a seat of honor from the king.
5
Don't justify yourself in the Lord's presence, and don't make a show of your wisdom with a king.
6
Don't aspire to become a judge; you might not be strong enough to get rid of injustice. Perhaps you will be too cautious in the presence of a powerful person and bring a scandal on your good name.
7
Don't sin against a city's inhabitants, and don't bring yourself down in their estimation. for you won't be innocent even of committing it the first time.
