Do not hate toilsome labor, or farm work, which were created by the Most High.
16
Do not count yourself among the crowd of sinners; remember that wrath does not delay.
17
Humble yourself greatly, for the punishment of the ungodly is fire and worms.
18
Do not exchange a friend for money, or a real brother for the gold of Ophir.
