Advantage

If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.

Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.

If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage; but if you scoff, you alone will bear the consequences.

For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.

What advantage, then, has the wise man over the fool? What gain comes to the poor man who knows how to conduct himself before others?

For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.

What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?

In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.
