Septuagint, Ecclesiasticus (Siracides), 8.1-8.2


nanDo not contend with a powerful man,lest you fall into his hands.


nanDo not kindle the coals of a sinner,lest you be burned in his flaming fire.


nanDo not quarrel with a rich man,lest his resources outweigh yours;for gold has ruined many,and has perverted the minds of kings.

And also unto thy bondwoman thou shalt do likewise." 15.18. It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou lettest him go free from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling hath he served thee six years; and the LORD thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest." 17.17.

Glorify not thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men;" 25.7.

12.16. He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly. 12.17. He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I don't have room to store my crops?' 12.18. He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 12.19. I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."' 12.20. But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared -- whose will they be?' 12.21. So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
