Turn away from the unjust man, and he will turn away from you.

Son, do not sow upon furrows of injustice, and you shall not reap them sevenfold.

Do not seek rule from the Lord, nor a seat of glory from a king.

Do not justify yourself before the Lord, and do not act wise before the king.

Do not seek to become a judge, lest you be unable to remove injustices, lest at some time you fear before the face of a ruler and set a stumbling block in your uprightness.

Do not sin against the multitude of a city, and do not throw yourself down in a crowd.

Do not bind on twice a sin, for in the one you will not be innocent

Do not say, By the multitude of my gifts he will look upon me, and when I bring to God Most High, he will accept me.

Do not be fainthearted in your prayer, and do not overlook to do almsgiving.

Do not reckon yourself among a multitude of sinners; remember that wrath will not linger.

Humble your soul greatly, for the vengeance of the impious is fire and worm.

Do not exchange a friend for the sake of something different, nor a genuine brother for gold of Ophir

Do not miss a wise and good woman, for her grace is beyond gold.

Do not mistreat a servant who is working in truth, nor a hired worker who gives his soul.

Let your soul love a prudent servant; do not deprive him of freedom.

If you have livestock, look after them, and if they are useful to you, let them remain with you

Children are to you; discipline them, and bend their neck from youth.

Daughters are yours; take care for their body, and do not make your face cheerful toward them

Give your daughter away, and you will have accomplished a great work, and to a prudent man give her as a gift.

A wife is to you according to your soul; do not cast her out, and do not entrust yourself to one who is hated.

With all your heart glorify your father, and do not forget the pangs of your mother.

Remember that through them you were begotten, and what will you repay to them as they themselves to you?

With all your soul revere the Lord, and marvel at his priests.

With all your strength love the one who made you, and do not forsake his ministers.

Fear the Lord and glorify the priest and give him his portion, as he has commanded you, the firstfruits and for offense and the giving of the shoulders and the sacrifice of sanctification and the firstfruits of holy things.

And to the poor stretch out your hand, that your blessing may be completed.

The grace of a gift before every living person, and from the dead do not withhold grace.

Do not be behind those who weep, and with those who mourn, mourn.

In all your words remember your last things, and unto eternity you will not sin.
