28. Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,and do not deceive with your words.
29. Do not say, “I will do to him just as he has done to me;I will pay him back according to what he has done.”

33. “A little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the hands to relax,
34. and your poverty will come like a bandit,and your need like an armed robber.”
