1. No one can understand and explain things the way wise people can. Their wisdom makes them happy. It changes a sad face into a happy one.
2. I say you should always obey the king’s command. Do this because you made a promise to God.
3. Don’t be afraid to give suggestions to the king, and don’t support something that is wrong. But remember, the king gives the commands that please him.
4. He has the authority to give commands, and no one can tell him what to do.
5. People will be safe if they obey his command. But wise people know the right time to do this, and they also know when to do the right thing.
6. There is a right time and a right way to do everything. You must decide what you should do, even when it might cause problems
7. and you are not sure what will happen. No one can tell you what will happen in the future.
8. No one has the power to keep their spirit from leaving or to stop their death. During war, no soldier has the freedom to go wherever he wants. In the same way evil does not allow anyone who does wrong to go free.
9. I saw all this. I thought very hard about the things that happen in this world. I saw that people always struggle for the power to rule others, and this is bad for them.
10. I also saw great and beautiful funerals for evil people. While the people were going home after the funeral services, they said good things about the evil people who had died. This happened even in the same towns where the evil people had done many bad things. This is senseless.
