1 Who is really wise? Who knows how to explain things? Wisdom makes one's face shine, and it changes one's grim look.

2 I [advise] you to obey the king's commands because of the oath you took in God's presence.

3 Don't be in a hurry to leave the king's service. Don't take part in something evil, because he can do whatever he pleases.

4 Since a king's word has such power, no one can ask him what he is doing.
