201. The evil fear not the folly called sin : but the worthy flee from it.

202. Evil bringeth forth evil: evil therefore shall be feared even more than fire.

203. The chiefest wisdom, they say, is to abstain from injury even to an enemy.

204. Let not a man compass another's ruin even by oversight : for Justice will compass the ruin of him that plotteth evil.

205. Let not a man work evil saying, I am poor: for, if he do, he will sink into a lower destitution than before. Rh
