3 The prudent trust in the word of the Lord,and the law is dependable for them as a divine oracle.
4 Prepare your words and then you will be listened to;draw upon your training, and give your answer.
5 Like the wheel of a cart is the mind of a fool,and his thoughts like a turning axle.
6 A mocking friend is like a stallionthat neighs, no matter who the rider may be.
7 Why is one day more important than another,when the same sun lights up every day of the year?
8 By the Lord’s knowledge they are kept distinct;and he designates the seasons and feasts.
9 Some he exalts and sanctifies,and others he lists as ordinary days.
