14 Do not go to law against a judge,
    for the decision will favour him because of his standing.
15 Do not go travelling with the reckless,
    or they will be burdensome to you;
for they will act as they please,
    and through their folly you will perish with them.
16 Do not pick a fight with the quick-tempered,
    and do not journey with them through lonely country,
because bloodshed means nothing to them,
    and where no help is at hand they will strike you down.
