3 No one can measure the height of the skies or the depth of the earth.So also no one can understand the mind of a king.
4 Remove the scum from the silver,so the silver can be used by the silversmith.
5 Remove wicked people from the king’s presence;then his government will be honest and last a long time.
6 Don’t brag to the kingand act as if you are great.
7 It is better for him to give you a higher positionthan to bring you down in front of the prince.Because of something you have seen,
8 do not quickly take someone to court.What will you do laterwhen your neighbor proves you wrong?
9 If you have an argument with your neighbor,don’t tell other people what was said.
