11. Laugh not a man to scorn when he is in the bitterness of his soul; For there is one who humbles and exalts.
12. Devise not a lie against your brother; Neither do the like to a friend.
13. Love not to make any manner of lie; For the custom thereof is not for good.
14. Prate not in the multitude of elders; And repeat not your words in your prayer.
15. Hate not laborious work; Neither husbandry, which the Most High has ordained.
16. Number not yourself among the multitude of sinners: Remember that wrath will not wait.
17. Humble your soul greatly; For the punishment of the ungodly man is fire and the worm.
18. Change not a friend for a thing indifferent; Neither a true brother for the gold of Ophir.
