1
Do no evil so shall no harm come unto thee
2
Depart from the unjust and iniquity shall turn away from thee
3
My son sow not upon the furrows of unrighteousness and thou shalt not reap them sevenfold
4
Seek not of the Lord preeminence neither of the king the seat of honour
5
justify not thyself before the Lord and boast not of thy wisdom before the king
6
Seek not to be judge being not able to take away iniquity lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty an stumblingblock in the way of thy uprightness
7
Offend not against the multitude of a city and then thou shalt not cast thyself down among the people
8
Bind not one sin upon another for in one thou shalt not be unpunished
9
Say not God will look upon the multitude of my oblations and when I offer to the most high God he will accept it
10
Be not fainthearted when thou makest thy prayer and neglect not to give alms
11
Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul for there is one which humbleth and exalteth
12
Devise not a lie against thy brother neither do the like to thy friend
13
Use not to make any manner of lie for the custom thereof is not good
14
Use not many words in a multitude of elders and make not much babbling when thou prayest
15
Hate not laborious work neither husbandry which the most High hath ordained
16
Number not thyself among the multitude of sinners but remember that wrath will not tarry long
17
Humble thyself greatly for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms
18
Change not a friend for any good by no means neither a faithful brother for the gold of Ophir
19
Forego not a wise and good woman for her grace is above gold
20
Whereas thy servant worketh truly entreat him not evil nor the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee
21
Let thy soul love a good servant and defraud him not of liberty
22
Hast thou cattle have an eye to them and if they be for thy profit keep them with thee
23
Hast thou children instruct them and bow down their neck from their youth
24
Hast thou daughters have a care of their body and shew not thyself cheerful toward them
25
Marry thy daughter and so shalt thou have performed a weighty matter but give her to a man of understanding
26
Hast thou a wife after thy mind forsake her not but give not thyself over to a light woman
27
Honour thy father with thy whole heart and forget not the sorrows of thy mother
28
Remember that thou wast begotten of them and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee
29
Fear the Lord with all thy soul and reverence his priests
30
Love him that made thee with all thy strength and forsake not his ministers
31
Fear the Lord and honor the priest and give him his portion as it is commanded thee the firstfruits and the trespass offering and the gift of the shoulders and the sacrifice of sanctification and the firstfruits of the holy things
32
And stretch thine hand unto the poor that thy blessing may be perfected
33
A gift hath grace in the sight of every man living and for the dead detain it not
34
Fail not to be with them that weep and mourn with them that mourn
35
Be not slow to visit the sick for that shall make thee to be beloved
36
Whatsoever thou takest in hand remember the end and thou shalt never do amiss
