The Businessman and Wise Counsel:

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Most High God of Israel, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields it fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. {Psalm 1:1-3.}

Exodus: Chapter, 20: verse 1, thru. 17.

And God spoke all these words, saying. "I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out  of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a "jealous God", visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: The LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou Labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: "for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath Day, and hollowed it. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
"Thou shalt not kill.
"Thou shalt not commit adultery.
"Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house.
" Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.
