5
Justify not thyself before God, for he knoweth the heart: and desire not to appear wise before the king.
6
Seek not to be made a judge, unless thou have strength enough to extirpate iniquities: lest thou fear the person of the powerful, and lay a stumblingblock for thy integrity.
7
Offend not against the multitude of a city, neither cast thyself in upon the people,
8
Nor bind sin to sin: for even in one thou shalt not be unpunished.
