《便西拉智訓(xùn)》：
Do not lift a weight beyond your strength,
nor associate with a man mightier and richer than you.
不要試圖舉起你拿不動的東西，也不要跟比你有錢有勢的人稱兄道弟辟汰。
原文：
Whoever touches pitch will be defiled,
and whoever associates with a proud man will become like him.
Do not lift a weight beyond your strength,
nor associate with a man mightier and richer than you.
How can the clay pot associate with the iron kettle?
The pot will strike against it, and will itself be broken.
如果你接觸柏油烛恤，柏油就粘附在你的身上，如果你跟傲慢之徒為伍抵皱，你就將變得跟他們一模一樣善榛。
不要試圖舉起你拿不動的東西辩蛋，也不要跟比你有錢有勢的人稱兄道弟。
你不可能把一個陶壺跟一個鐵鍋總放在一起移盆，那樣陶壺一旦碰上鐵鍋就會打碎悼院。
