Latin
21Be ashamed of fornication before father and mother: and of a lie before a governor and a man in power:
22Of an offence before a prince, and a judge: of iniquity before a congregation and a people:
23Of injustice before a companion and friend: and in regard to the place where thou dwellest,
24Of theft, and of the truth of God, and the covenant: of leaning with thy elbow over meat, and of deceit in giving and taking:
25Of silence before them that salute thee: of looking upon a harlot: and of turning away thy face from thy kinsman.
26Turn not away thy face from thy neighbour, and of taking away a portion and not restoring.
27Gaze not upon another man’s wife, and be not inquisitive after his handmaid, and approach not her bed.
28Be ashamed of upbraiding speeches before friends: and after thou hast given, upbraid not.
Chapter 42
Repeat not the word which thou hast heard, and disclose not the thing that is secret; so shalt thou be truly without confusion, and shalt find favour before all men: be not ashamed of any of these things, and accept no person to sin thereby:
