13 Refuse to tell lie after lie,for it never results in good.
14 Do not babble in the assembly of the eldersor repeat the words of your prayer.
15 Do not hate hard work;work was assigned by God.
16 Do not esteem yourself more than your compatriots;remember, his wrath will not delay.
17 More and more, humble your pride;what awaits mortals is worms.
18 Do not barter a friend for money,or a true brother for the gold of Ophir.
19 Do not reject a sensible wife;a gracious wife is more precious than pearls.
