From the library

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
