1. No one is like the wise personwho can understand what things mean.Wisdom brings happiness;it makes sad faces happy.
2. Obey the king’s command, because you made a promise to God.
3. Don’t be too quick to leave the king. Don’t support something that is wrong, because the king does whatever he pleases.
4. What the king says is law; no one tells him what to do.
5. Whoever obeys the king’s command will be safe.A wise person does the right thing at the right time.
6. There is a right time and a right way for everything,yet people often have many troubles.
7. They do not know what the future holds,and no one can tell them what will happen.
8. No one can control the windor stop his own death.No soldier is released in times of war,and evil does not set free those who do evil.
9. I saw all of this as I considered all that is done here on earth. Sometimes people harm those they control.
10. I saw the funerals of evil people who used to go in and out of the holy place. They were honored in the same towns where they had done evil. This is useless, too.
