7
Don't commit any crime against the general public, and don't disgrace yourself among your townspeople.
8
Don't commit the same sin twice. The punishment you get the first time ought to be enough.
9
Don't think that God Most High is going to take into account how very generous you are and so accept any offering you decide to make.
10
Never get tired of praying, and never miss a chance to give to the poor.
11
Don't laugh at someone who has been humiliated. It is the Lord who humbles a person, but the Lord also raises him up again.
12
Don't think up lies to tell about your friends.
13
Don't tell lies at all. It never does any good.
14
In an official assembly, don't get up and talk a lot of nonsense. And don't repeat yourself when you pray.
15
Don't try to avoid farm work or other hard labor; the Most High has given us these jobs to do.
16
Don't join up with a crowd of sinners; remember that the Lord's punishment is sure to come.
17
Be very humble, because the decay of death awaits us all.
