Reproach not a man when he turneth from sin;
Remember we are all worthy of punishment.
Dishonour not a man in his old age;
For some of us also are waxing old.
Rejoice not over one that is dead;
Remember that we die all.[140]
Do no evil, so shall no evil overtake thee;
Depart from wrong, and it shall turn aside from thee.
My son, sow not the furrows of unrighteousness,
And thou shalt not reap it sevenfold.[141]
Be not thou envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them, for their heart studieth oppression and their lips talk of mischief.[142]
Let not thine heart envy sinners, but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long; for surely there is a reward and thy hope shall not be cut off.[143]
Say not thou, “It is through the Lord that I fell away: for that which He hateth He made not.” Say not thou, “It is He that caused me to err, for He hath no need of a sinful man.”[144]
Say not, He will look upon the multitude of my gifts, and when I offer to the Most High God He will accept it.[145]
Keep thy heart with all vigilance,
For that is the way to life.[146]
Be not faint-hearted in thy prayer,
And neglect not to give alms.[147]
Commit thy ways unto the Lord,
And thy purposes shall be established.[148]
