12For wisdom provides security, as does money, but the advantage for those who have wisdom is that they are kept safe and sound!
13Think about what God does. If he makes something bent, you can't straighten it!
14On a good day, be happy. When a bad day comes, stop and think. God made each day, so you don't know what will happen to you next.
15Throughout my life I've seen so much that is hard to understand. Good people who die young despite doing what is right, and wicked people who live long evil lives.
16Don't think you can make yourself right by a lot of religious observance, and don't pretend to be so wise. Do you want to destroy yourself?
17On the other hand, don't decide to live an evil life—don't be a fool! Why die before your time?
18You ought to keep in mind these warnings. Those who follow God will be sure to avoid both.
19Wisdom gives a wise person greater power than ten town councilors.
20There's not one good person in all the world who always does what is right and never sins.
