"If thou be invited by one that is mightier, withdraw thyself: for so he will invite thee the more."
Nel contesto
10Beware that thou be not deceived Into folly, and be humbled.
11Be not lowly in thy wisdom, lest being humbled thou be deceived into folly.
12If thou be invited by one that is mightier, withdraw thyself: for so he will invite thee the more.
13Be not troublesome to him, lest thou be put back: and keep not far from him, lest thou be forgotten.
14Affect not to speak with him as an equal: and believe not his many words: for by much talk he will sift thee, and smiling will examine thee concerning thy secrets.
