²⁰     and of silence, before those who greet you;
of looking at a woman who is a harlot,
²¹     and of rejecting the appeal of a kinsman;
of taking away some one’s portion or gift,
    and of gazing at another man’s wife;
²² of meddling with his maidservant—
    and do not approach her bed;
of abusive words, before friends—
    and do not upbraid after making a gift;
