1. My child, do not mock the life of the poor;do not keep needy eyes waiting.
2. Do not grieve the hungry,nor anger the needy.
3. Do not aggravate a heart already angry,nor delay giving to the needy.
4. A beggar’s request do not reject;do not turn your face away from the poor.
5. From the needy do not turn your eyes;do not give them reason to curse you.
6. If in their pain they cry out bitterly,their Rock will hear the sound of their cry.
7. Endear yourself to the assembly;before the city’s ruler bow your head.
8. Give a hearing to the poor,and return their greeting with deference;
9. Deliver the oppressed from their oppressors;right judgment should not be repugnant to you.
10. Be like a father to orphans,and take the place of a husband to widows.Then God will call you his child,and he will be merciful to you and deliver you from the pit.
