“Do not go to law against a judge!
The decision will favor him
Because of his standing.
Do not go traveling with the reckless!
They will be burdensome to you.
They will act as they please.
Through their folly
You will perish with them.
Do not pick a fight with the quick-tempered!
Do not journey with them through lonely country!
Bloodshed means nothing to them.
Where no help is at hand,
They will strike you down.”
Do not go to the law against a judge because the decision will favor him due to his position as a judge. Do not travel with reckless people because they will be a burden to you. They will do whatever they want. They will draw you into their folly and you will perish with them. Do not pick a fight with someone who has a quick temper. Do not go traveling with them either. Killing people means nothing to them. They are liable to kill you when there is no one to help you. Be careful with who you travel with.
