1When, therefore, I grew up, my children, I walked in uprightness of heart, and I became a husbandman for my father and my brethren, and I brought in fruits from the field according to their season.
2'And my father blessed me, for he saw that I walked in rectitude before him.'
3And I was not a busybody in my doings, 'nor envious and malicious against my neighbour.'
4I never slandered any one, nor did I censure the life of any man, walking as I did in singleness of eye'.
