10 Don't tell a slave ownersomething bad about oneof the slaves.That slave will curse you,and you will be in trouble.
11 Some people curse their fatherand even their mother;
12 others think they are perfect,but they are stained by sin.
13 Some people are stuck-upand act like snobs;
14 others are so greedythat they gobble upthe poor and homeless.
15 Greed has twins,each named “Give me!”There are three or four thingsthat are never satisfied:
16 the world of the deadand a childless wife,the thirsty earthand a flaming fire.
