Don't exploit the poor, because he is poor; and don't crush the needy in court;

Don't befriend a hot-tempered man, and don't associate with one who harbors anger:

Don't eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don't crave his delicacies:

Don't move the ancient boundary stone. Don't encroach on the fields of the fatherless:

Don't lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don't destroy his resting place:

Don't rejoice when your enemy falls. Don't let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;

Don't be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don't deceive with your lips.

Don't boast about tomorrow; for you don't know what a day may bring forth.

Don't forsake your friend and your father's friend. Don't go to your brother's house in the day of your disaster: better is a neighbor who is near than a distant brother.

My son, listen to your father's instruction, and don't forsake your mother's teaching:

My son, if sinners entice you, don't consent.

My son, don't walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path,

My son, don't forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:

Don't let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding.

Don't be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.

My son, don't despise Yahweh's discipline, neither be weary of his reproof:

Avoid it, and don't pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on.

For they don't sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.

Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don't depart from the words of my mouth.

Remove your way far from her. Don't come near the door of her house,

My son, keep your father's commandment, and don't forsake your mother's teaching.

Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.

She is loud and defiant. Her feet don't stay in her house.

Hear instruction, and be wise. Don't refuse it.

Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips.

Don't say, "I will pay back evil." Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

Listen to your father who gave you life, and don't despise your mother when she is old.

Buy the truth, and don't sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.

Don't look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.

Don't be envious of evil men; neither desire to be with them:

Don't fret yourself because of evildoers; neither be envious of the wicked:

My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don't join those who are rebellious:

Don't say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."

Don't exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place among great men;

"Don't slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.
