1 Who is really wise? Who knows how to explain things? Wisdom makes one’s face shine, and it changes one’s grim look.
2 I ⌊advise⌋ you to obey the king’s commands because of the oath you took in God’s presence.
3 Don’t be in a hurry to leave the king’s service. Don’t take part in something evil, because he can do whatever he pleases.
4 Since a king’s word has such power, no one can ask him what he is doing.
