7 So don't go looking about in the streets or wandering around in the run-down parts of town.
8 When you see a good-looking woman, look the other way; don't let your mind dwell on the beauty of any woman who is not your wife. Many men have been led astray by a woman's beauty. It kindles passion as if it were fire.
9 Don't sit down to eat with another man's wife or join her for a drink. You may give in to the temptation of her charms and be destroyed by your passion.
10 Never abandon old friends; you will never find a new one who can take their place. Friendship is like wine; it gets better as it grows older.
11 Don't be jealous of a sinner's success; you don't know what kind of disaster is in store for him.
12 Don't take pleasure in the things that make ungodly people happy; remember that they will be held guilty as long as they live.
13 If you keep away from someone who has the power to put you to death, you will not have to fear for your life; but if you must go near him, be very careful, or he may kill you. Be conscious that you are walking among hidden traps, that you are an easy target.
