8. Bind not up sin twice; For in one sin you shall not be unpunished.

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.
19. Forgo not a wise and good wife; For her grace is above gold.
20. Entreat not evil a servant that works truly, Nor a hireling that gives you his life.
21. Let your soul love a wise servant; Defraud him not of liberty.
