7. You should not sin against the multitude of a city, nor should you cast yourself against the people.
8. And you should not bind two sins together. For even in one sin, you will not go unpunished.
9. Do not be cowardly in your soul.
10. You should not be unwilling to beg, nor to give alms.
11. You should not say: "God will look with favor on the multitude of my gifts, and when I make an offering to the most high God, he will accept my gift."
