3 No one can comprehend the height of heaven, the depth of the earth,or all that goes on in the king’s mind!
4 Remove the impurities from silver,and the sterling will be ready for the silversmith.
5 Remove the wicked from the king’s court,and his reign will be made secure by justice.
6 Don’t demand an audience with the kingor push for a place among the great.
7 It’s better to wait for an invitation to the head tablethan to be sent away in public disgrace.Just because you’ve seen something,
8 don’t be in a hurry to go to court.For what will you do in the endif your neighbor deals you a shameful defeat?
9 When arguing with your neighbor,don’t betray another person’s secret.
