8
When you see a good-looking woman, look the other way; don't let your mind dwell on the beauty of any woman who is not your wife. Many men have been led astray by a woman's beauty. It kindles passion as if it were fire.
9
Don't sit down to eat with another man's wife or join her for a drink. You may give in to the temptation of her charms and be destroyed by your passion.
10
Never abandon old friends; you will never find a new one who can take their place. Friendship is like wine; it gets better as it grows older.
11
Don't be jealous of a sinner's success; you don't know what kind of disaster is in store for him.
12
Don't take pleasure in the things that make ungodly people happy; remember that they will be held guilty as long as they live.
