3. Dreams come to people when they worry a lot. When foolish people talk, they use too many words.
4. When you make a promise to God, don't wait too long to carry it out. He isn't pleased with foolish people. So do what you have promised.
5. It is better to make no promise at all than to make a promise and not keep it.
6. Don't let your mouth cause you to sin. Don't object to the temple messenger. Don't say, "My promise was a mistake." Why should God be angry with what you say? Why should he destroy what you have done?
7. Dreaming too much and talking too much are meaningless. So have respect for God.
8. Suppose you see poor people being mistreated somewhere. And what is being done to them isn't right or fair. Don't be surprised by that. One official is watched by a higher one. Others who are even higher are watching both of them.
9. All of them take what the land produces. And the king himself takes his share from the fields.
