HE WHO willfully separates and estranges himself [from God and man] seeks his own desire and pretext to break out against all wise and sound judgment.
Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh And intermeddleth with all wisdom.
He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom.
Unfriendly people look out for themselves; they bicker with sensible people.
Whoever has a will to withdraw from a friend, seeks occasions; he shall be reproached at all times.
He that hath a mind to depart from a friend seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.
