18 It is good to grab the one and not let go of the other;those who honor God will hold them both.
19 Wisdom makes a person strongerthan ten leaders in a city.
20 Surely there is not a good person on earthwho always does good and never sins.
21 Don’t listen to everything people say,or you might hear your servant insulting you.
22 You know that many timesyou have insulted others.
23 I used wisdom to test all these things.I wanted to be wise,but it was too hard for me.
24 I cannot understand why things are as they are.It is too hard for anyone to understand.
