3 If you are wise, you will believe in the Law; you will find it as reliable as the sacred lots.
4 Prepare what you are going to say and people will listen to you. Use what you have learned before you start talking.
5 A foolish person's mind works like a cartwheel, going round and round in circles.
6 A sarcastic friend is like a wild horse that neighs no matter who tries to ride him.
7 Why are some days holier than others, even though the same sun rises on every day of the year?
8 It is because the Lord made them different by setting them apart as religious holidays and festivals.
9 He made some days holy and important, and made other days ordinary.
