30
Do not follow your base desires, but restrain your appetites.
31
If you allow your soul to take pleasure in base desire, it will make you the laughingstock of your enemies.
32
Do not revel in great luxury, or you may become impoverished by its expense.
33
Do not become a beggar by feasting with borrowed money, when you have nothing in your purse.
