9. Miss not the discourse of the aged; For they also learned of their fathers: Because from them you shall learn understanding, And to give answer in time of need.
10. Kindle not the coals of a sinner, Lest you be burned with the flame of his fire.
11. Rise not up from the presence of an insolent man, Lest he lie in wait as an ambush for your mouth.
12. Lend not to a man that is mightier than yourself; And if you lend, be as one that has lost.
13. Be not surety above your power: And if you be surety, take thought as one that will have to pay.
14. Go not to law with a judge; For according to his honor will they give judgement for him.
15. Go not in the way with a rash man, Lest he be aggrieved with you; For he will do according to his own will, And you shall perish with his folly.
