8
Turn away your eyes from a shapely woman, and do not gaze at beauty belonging to another; many have been seduced by a woman's beauty, and by it passion is kindled like a fire.
9
Never dine with another man's wife, or revel with her at wine; or your heart may turn aside to her, and in blood you may be plunged into destruction.
10
Do not abandon old friends, for new ones cannot equal them. A new friend is like new wine; when it has aged, you can drink it with pleasure.
11
Do not envy the success of sinners, for you do not know what their end will be like.
12
Do not delight in what pleases the ungodly; remember that they will not be held guiltless all their lives.
