11
Many by admiring the beauty of another man's wife, have become reprobate, for her conversation burneth as fire.
12
Sit not at all with another man's wife, nor repose upon the bed with her:
13
And strive not with her over wine, lest thy heart decline towards her, and by thy blood thou fall into destruction.
14
Forsake not an old friend, for the new will not be like to him.
15
A new friend is as new wine: it shall grow old, and thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
16
Envy not the glory and riches of a sinner: for thou knowest not what his ruin shall be.
17
Be not pleased with the wrong done by the unjust, knowing that even to hell the wicked shall not please.
18
Keep thee far from the man that hath power to kill, so thou shalt not suspect the fear of death.
19
And if thou come to him, commit no fault, lest he take away thy life.
20
Know it to be a communication with death: for thou art going in the midst of snares, and walking upon the arms of them that are grieved:
21
According to thy power beware of thy neighbor, and treat with the wise and prudent.
