10
Who has been tested by it and been found perfect? Let it be for him a ground for boasting. Who has had the power to transgress and did not transgress, and to do evil and did not do it?
11
His prosperity will be established, and the assembly will relate his acts of charity.
12
Are you seated at the table of a great man? Do not be greedy at it, and do not say, "There is certainly much upon it!"
13
Remember that a greedy eye is a bad thing. What has been created more greedy than the eye? Therefore it sheds tears from every face.
14
Do not reach out your hand for everything you see, and do not crowd your neighbor at the dish.
