Do not move an ancient boundary stone which was put in place by your ancestors.

Do not speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

Do not spend time among drunkards, among those who eat too much meat,

Do not envy evil people, do not desire to be with them;

Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your words.

When you argue a case with your neighbor, do not reveal the secret of another person,

The sluggard plunges his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

Do not add to his words, lest he reprove you, and prove you to be a liar.

Two things I ask from you; do not refuse me before I die:

Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which ruins kings.

Open your mouth on behalf of those unable to speak, for the legal rights of all the dying.

Do not let truth and mercy leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

Do not be wise in your own estimation; fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

Do not say to your neighbor, “Go! Return tomorrow and I will give it,” when you have it with you at the time.

Do not plot evil against your neighbor when he dwells by you unsuspectingly.

Do not accuse anyone without legitimate cause, if he has not treated you wrongly.

Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding; do not forget and do not turn aside from the words I speak.

So it is with the one who has sex with his neighbor’s wife; no one who touches her will escape punishment.

The scorner does not love one who corrects him; he will not go to the wise.

A bribe works like a charm for the one who offers it; in whatever he does he succeeds.
