15
If any man hath done any work for thee, immediately pay him his hire, and let not the wages of thy hired servant stay with thee at all.
16
See thou never do to another what thou wouldst hate to have done to thee by another.
17
Eat thy bread with the hungry and the needy, and with thy garments cover the naked.
18
Lay out thy bread, and thy wine upon the burial of a just man, and do not eat and drink thereof with the wicked.
19
Seek counsel always of a wise man.
20
Bless God at all times: and desire of him to direct thy ways, and that all thy counsels may abide in him.
21
I tell thee also, my son, that I lent ten talents of silver, while thou wast yet a child, to Gabelus, in Rages a city of the Medes, and I have a note of his hand with me:
22
Now therefore inquire how thou mayst go to him, and receive of him the foresaid sum of money, and restore to him the note of his hand.
23
Fear not, my son: we lead indeed a poor life, but we shall have many good things if we fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is good.
