14. Let not the wages of any man, which shall work for you, wait with you, but render it to him out of hand: and if you serve God, recompense shall be made to you. Take heed to yourself, my child, in all your works, and be discreet in all your behavior.
15. And what you yourself hate, do to no man. Drink not wine to drunkenness, and let not drunkenness go with you on your way.
16. Give of your bread to the hungry, and of your garments to them that are naked: of all your abundance give alms; and let not your eye be envious when you give alms.
17. Pour out your bread on the burial of the just, and give nothing to sinners.
18. Ask counsel of every man that is wise, and despise not any counsel that is profitable.
19. And bless the Lord your God at all times, and ask of him that your ways may be made straight, and that all your paths and counsels may prosper: for every nation has not counsel; but the Lord himself gives all good things, and he humbles whom he will, as he will. And now, my child, remember my commandments, and let them not be blotted out of your mind.
20. And now I show you of the ten talents of silver, which I left in trust with Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages of Media.
21. And fear not, my child, because we are made poor: you have much wealth, if you fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is pleasing in his sight.
