1 Don’t do evil things,and evil will never catch up with you.
2 Keep your distance from anything unjust, and it will turn away from you.
3 Don’t sow in furrows of injustice,and you won’t reapevil things sevenfold.
4 Don’t seek political power from the Lordor a seat of honor from the king.
5 Don’t justify yourselfin the Lord’s presence,and don’t make a show of your wisdomwith a king.
