Let us flee from the desire to please men and from anger. For the Law of old has said that these are like the white and red forms of leprosy (Lev. 13:1). Let us also remove from ourselves treacherous hypocrisy and foolish cowardice, for these are like the azure form of leprosy. And let us further cast away irrational sadness and envy, which drain the soul, for these are like the yellow-green form of leprosy.
