Chapter 8 | |
8:1 | Strive not with a mighty man' lest thou fall into his hands. |
8:2 | Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings. |
8:3 | Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire. |
8:4 | Jest not with a rude man, lest thy ancestors be disgraced. |
8:5 | Reproach not a man that turneth from sin, but remember that we are all worthy of punishment. |
8:6 | Dishonour not a man in his old age: for even some of us wax old. |
8:7 | Rejoice not over thy greatest enemy being dead, but remember that we die all. |
8:8 | Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs: for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with ease. |
8:9 | Miss not the discourse of the elders: for they also learned of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need requireth. |
8:10 | Kindle not the coals of a sinner, lest thou be burnt with the flame of his fire. |
8:11 | Rise not up [in anger] at the presence of an injurious person, lest he lie in wait to entrap thee in thy words |
8:12 | Lend not unto him that is mightier than thyself; for if thou lendest him, count it but lost. |

8:14 | Go not to law with a judge; for they will judge for him according to his honour. |
8:15 | Travel not by the way with a bold fellow, lest he become grievous unto thee: for he will do according to his own will, and thou shalt perish with him through his folly. |
8:16 | Strive not with an angry man, and go not with him into a solitary place: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help, he will overthrow thee. |
8:17 | Consult not with a fool; for he cannot keep counsel. |
8:18 | Do no secret thing before a stranger; for thou knowest not what he will bring forth. |
8:19 | Open not thine heart to every man, lest he requite thee with a shrewd turn. |
