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.

Discipline your child, for there is hope, but do not set your heart on causing his death.

The sluggard plunges his hand in the dish, and he will not even bring it back to his mouth!

Do not love sleep, lest you become impoverished; open your eyes so that you might be satisfied with food.

Do not exploit a poor person because he is poor and do not crush the needy in court,

Do not make friends with an angry person, and do not associate with a wrathful person,

Do not eat the food of a stingy person, do not crave his delicacies;

Do not withhold discipline from a child; even if you strike him with the rod, he will not die.

Do not let your heart envy sinners, but rather be zealous in fearing the Lord all the time.

Do not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.

Fear the Lord, my child, as well as the king, and do not associate with rebels,

Do not say, “I will do to him just as he has done to me; I will pay him back according to what he has done.”

Do not go out hastily to litigation, or what will you do afterward when your neighbor puts you to shame?
