Chapter 10

1Said Yehuda : O my son, thou shalt not be a murmurer, because murmuring leads a man to cursing. Nor shalt thou be overbearing, or oppressive, or malicious ; because in all this will be unbelief. Be gentle, because the gentle shall inherit the kingdom of the heavens. Be kind and merciful and peaceable, with a heart pure from all evil, without sin. And be good and humble, and keep thyself in trembling at the word which thou hast heard. And thou shalt not boast, nor put thyself with the great, but with men righteous and is humble ; and receive everything which happens to thee with thanksgiving to God ; and know that nothing whatever happens except from God.
