4 Don’t quit your job simply because the boss is angry with you. If you remain calm and helpful, you can correct even great mistakes.
5 Here is something else that I have seen in this life that isn’t fair. It is the kind of mistake that rulers make.
6 Fools are given important positions, while the rich get jobs that are not important.
7 I have seen servants riding on horses, while rulers were walking beside them like slaves.
8 If you dig a hole, you might fall into it. If you break down a wall, you might be bitten by a snake.
9 If you are moving large stones, you might be hurt by them. If you cut down a tree, you are in danger of it falling on you.
10 But wisdom will make any job easier. It is very hard to cut with a dull knife. But if you sharpen the knife, the job is easier.
