1 Whoever has a will to withdraw from a friend, seeks occasions; he shall be reproached at all times.
2 The foolish do not accept words of prudence, unless you say what is already turning in his heart.
3 The impious, when he has arrived within the depths of sin, thinks little of it. But ill repute and disgrace follow him.
4 Words from the mouth of a man are deep waters. And the fountain of wisdom is a torrent overflowing.
5 It is not good to accept the character of the impious, so as to turn away from true judgment.
