1. Be careful what you do when you enter the house of God. Some fools go there to offer sacrifices, even though they haven't sinned. But it's best just to listen when you go to worship.
2. Don't talk before you think or make promises to God without thinking them through. God is in heaven, and you are on earth, so don't talk too much.
3. If you keep thinking about something, you will dream about it. If you talk too much, you will say the wrong thing.
4. God doesn't like fools. So don't be slow to keep your promises to God.
5. It's better not to make a promise at all than to make one and not keep it.
6. Don't let your mouth get you in trouble! And don't say to the worship leader, “I didn't mean what I said.” God can destroy everything you have worked for, so don't say something that makes God angry.
7. Respect and obey God! Daydreaming leads to a lot of senseless talk.
8. Don't be surprised if the poor of your country are abused, and injustice takes the place of justice. After all, the lower officials must do what the higher ones order them to do.
9. And since the king is the highest official, he benefits most from the taxes paid on the land.
10. If you love money and wealth, you will never be satisfied with what you have. This doesn't make sense either.
11. The more you have, the more everyone expects from you. Your money won't do you any good—others will just spend it for you.
