29. The affliction of an hour maketh one forget great delights, and in the end of a man is the disclosing of his works.
30. Praise not any man before death, for a man is known by his children.
31. Bring not every man into thy house: for many are the snares of the deceitful.
32. For as corrupted bowels send forth stinking breath, and as the partridge is brought into the cage, and as the roe into the snare: so also is the heart of the proud, and as a spy that looketh on the fall of his neighbour.
33. For he lieth in wait and turneth good into evil, and on the elect he will lay a blot.
34. Of one spark cometh a great fire, and of one deceitful man much blood: and a sinful man lieth in wait for blood.
35. Take heed to thyself of a mischievous man, for he worketh evils: lest he bring upon thee reproach for ever.
36. Receive a stranger in, and he shall overthrow thee with a whirlwind, and shall turn thee out of thy own.
