3 Compared to most flying things, a bee is very small, but the honey it makes is the sweetest of foods.
4 Don't make fun of someone who has fallen on hard times and is dressed in rags. The Lord does wonderful things that human beings never notice.
5 Many are the kings who have ended their careers sitting on the ground, while their crowns were worn by those no one had heard of before.
6 Many are the rulers who have suffered disgrace. Many are the famous people who have fallen into the power of others.
7 Before you start criticizing, get your facts straight and think the matter through.
8 Don't interrupt while someone is speaking; hear what he has to say before you answer.
9 Don't get into an argument over something that is none of your business. Don't take part in decisions that are being made by sinners.
