Do no evil, so shall no evil overtake thee.

2 Depart from wrong, and it shall turn aside from thee.

3 My son, sow not upon the furrows of unrighteousness,

4 Seek not of the Lord preeminence,

5 Justify not thyself in the presence of the Lord;

6 Seek not to be a judge,

7 Sin not against the multitude of the city,

8 Bind not up sin twice;

9 Say not, He will look upon the multitude of my gifts,

10 Be not fainthearted in thy prayer;

11 Laugh not a man to scorn when he is in the bitterness of his soul;

12 Devise not a lie against thy brother;

13 Love not to make any manner of lie;

14 Prate not in the multitude of elders;

15 Hate not laborious work;

16 Number not thyself among the multitude of sinners:

17 Humble thy soul greatly;

18 Change not a friend for a thing indifferent;

19 Forego not a wise and good wife;

20 Treat not evil a servant that worketh truly,

21 Let thy soul love a wise servant;

22 Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them;

23 Hast thou children? correct them,

24 Hast thou daughters? give heed to their body,

25 Give thy daughter in marriage, and thou shalt have accomplished a great matter:

26 Hast thou a wife after thy mind? cast her not out:

27 Give glory to thy father with thy whole heart;

28 Remember that of them thou wast born:

29 Fear the Lord with all thy soul;

30 With all thy strength love him that made thee;

31 Fear the Lord, and glorify the priest;

32 Also to the poor man stretch out thy hand,

33 A gift hath grace in the sight of every man living;

34 Be not wanting to them that weep;

35 Be not slow to visit a sick man;

36 In all thy matters remember thy last end,
