19. Listen to me, leaders of the people;rulers of the congregation, pay heed!
20a. Let neither son nor wife, neither brother nor friend,have power over you as long as you live.
21. While breath of life is still in you,let no one take your place.
20b. Do not give your wealth to another,lest you must plead for support yourself.
22. Far better that your children plead with youthan that you should look for a handout from them.
23. Keep control over all your affairs;bring no stain on your honor.
24. When your few days reach their limit,at the time of death distribute your inheritance.
25. Fodder and whip and loads for a donkey;food, correction and work for a slave.
26. Make a slave work, and he will look for rest;let his hands be idle and he will seek to be free.
