3My sonne, sow not vpon the furrowes of vnrighteousnesse, and thou shalt not reape them seuen folde. 4Seeke not of the Lord preheminence, neither of the King the seate of honour. 5Iustifie not thy selfe before the Lord, and boast not of thy wisedome before the king. 6Seeke not to be iudge, being not able to take away iniquitie, lest at any time thou feare the person of the mightie, and lay a stumbling blocke in the way of thy vprightnesse. 7Offend not against the multitude of a city, and then thou shalt not cast thy selfe downe among the people.
