Nor ask him to apologize, nor otherwise seek to make him humble himself before<br \/>\nthee.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Nor shalt thou boast over him because thou art wiser or stronger or more expert.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. For all such inquisition cometh of darkness, and shall return upon him who uttereth it,<br \/>\nin time to come.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15.
