Say not, God will look upon the multitude of my oblations, and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept it.
10
Be not fainthearted when thou makest thy prayer, and neglect not to give alms.
11
Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one which humbleth and exalteth.
12
Devise not a lie against thy brother; neither do the like to thy friend.
13
Use not to make any manner of lie: for the custom thereof is not good.
14
Use not many words in a multitude of elders, and make not much babbling when thou prayest.
15
Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry, which the most High hath ordained.
16
Number not thyself among the multitude of sinners, but remember that wrath will not tarry long.
17
Humble thyself greatly: for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms.
18
Change not a friend for any good by no means; neither a faithful brother for the gold of Ophir.
19
Forego not a wise and good woman: for her grace is above gold.
