9. If a mighty man invite you, be retiring, And so much the more will he invite you.
10. Press not upon him, lest you be thrust back; And stand not far off, lest you be forgotten.
11. Affect not to speak with him as an equal, And believe not his many words: For with much talk will he try you, And in a smiling manner will search you out.
12. He that keeps not to himself words spoken is unmerciful; And he will not spare to hurt and to bind.
13. Keep them to yourself, and take earnest heed, For you walk in peril of your falling.
15. Every living creature loves his like, And every man loves his neighbor.
16. All flesh consorts according to kind, And a man will cleave to his like.
17. What fellowship shall the wolf have with the lamb? So is the sinner to the godly.
