2
Depart from the unjust, and iniquity shall turn away from thee.
3
My son, sow not upon the furrows of unrighteousness, and thou shalt not reap them sevenfold.
4
Seek not of the Lord preeminence, neither of the king the seat of honour.
5
justify not thyself before the Lord; and boast not of thy wisdom before the king.
6
Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquity; lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, an stumblingblock in the way of thy uprightness.
7
Offend not against the multitude of a city, and then thou shalt not cast thyself down among the people.
8
Bind not one sin upon another; for in one thou shalt not be unpunished.
9
Say not, God will look upon the multitude of my oblations, and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept it.
10
Be not fainthearted when thou makest thy prayer, and neglect not to give alms.
11
Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one which humbleth and exalteth.
