7. Before you inquire, you should not place blame on anyone; and when you have inquired, reprove justly.
8. Before you listen, you should not respond a word; and you should not interrupt in the middle of a discourse.
9. You should not contend in a matter which does not concern you, and you should not sit in judgment together with sinners.
10. Son, you should not be involved in many matters. And if you become rich, you will not be free from transgression. For if you pursue, you will not apprehend; and if you run ahead, you will not escape.
11. There is an impious man who labors and hurries and grieves, but all the more will he be without abundance.
