1. HE that toucheth pitch, shall be defiled with it: and he that hath fellowship with the proud, shall put on pride.
2. He shall take a burden upon him that hath fellowship with one more honourable than himself. And have no fellowship with one that is richer than thyself.
3. What agreement shall the earthen pot have with the kettle? for if they knock one against the other, it shall be broken.
4. The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he will fume: but the poor is wronged and must hold his peace.
5. If thou give, he will make use of thee: and if thou have nothing, he will forsake thee.
6. If thou have any thing, he will live with thee, and will make thee bare, and he will not be sorry for thee.
7. If he have need of thee he will deceive thee, and smiling upon thee will put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and will say: What wantest thou?
