18 Be careful that no one tempts you with riches. Don't take money from people who want special favors, no matter how much it is.
19 Can your wealth keep you out of trouble? Can all of your mighty efforts keep you going?
20 Don't long for the night to come so you can drag people away from their homes.
21 Be careful not to do what is evil. You seem to like evil better than suffering!
22 "God is honored because he is so powerful. He has no equal as a teacher.
23 Who has told him what he can do? Who has said to him, 'You have done what is wrong'?
24 Remember to thank him for what he's done. People have praised him with their songs.
