1. You should not repeat a claim heard from the revealing of a hidden word. And then, truly, you will be without shame, and you will find favor in the sight of all men. You should not accept the reputation of someone, so that you would sin, nor should you be confounded in any of the following things:
2. in the law of the Most High and his covenant, or by giving a judgment to justify the impious;
3. in a word among companions and fellow travelers, or by distributing the inheritance of friends;
4. in the fairness of scales and weights, or in acquiring much or little;
5. by the corruption of buying and negotiating, or in the ample discipline of children, or in causing the side of a wicked servant to bleed.
6. A seal is good over a wicked wife.
7. Where there are many hands, seal and deliver all things by number and weight; and truly, give and receive everything in writing.
8. You should not have shame in correcting the senseless, the foolish, and those youths who would judge their elders. And so shall you be well-instructed in all things and well-approved in the sight of all the living.
