“And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.”
Bible
“Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: / Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: / Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; / And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, / And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; / And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! / I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.”
“Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.”
“Battle not with monsters lest you become one.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
