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.

11 Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one which humbleth and exalteth.

14 Use not many words in a multitude (of elders), and make not much babbling when thou prayest.[1]
15 Hate not laborious work (neither husbandry) which the most High hath ordained.
16 Number not thyself among the multitude (of sinners), but remember that wrath will not tarry long.
17 Humble thyself greatly: for the vengeance (of the ungodly) is fire and worms.[2]
18 Change not a friend for any good by no means; neither a faithful brother for the gold of Ophir.
19 Forego not a wise and good woman: for her grace is above gold.
20 Whereas thy servant worketh truly, entreat him not evil. nor the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee.
21 Let thy soul love a good servant, and defraud him not of liberty.
22 Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee.
23 Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck from their youth.
24 Hast thou daughters? have a care of their body, and shew not thyself cheerful toward them.

34 Fail not to be with them that weep, and mourn with them that mourn.
35 Be not slow to visit the sick: for that shall make thee to be beloved.
