1. STRIVE not with a powerful man, lest thou fall into his hands.
2. Contend not with a rich man, lest he bring an action against thee.
3. For gold and silver hath destroyed many, and hath reached even to the heart of kings, and perverted them.
4. Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire.
5. Communicate not with an ignorant man, lest he speak ill of thy family.
