12We are sometimes protected by being wise like we are sometimes protected by having a lot of money, but being wise is better than having a lot of money, because being wise prevents us from doing foolish things that would cause us to die.
13Think carefully about what God has done. Certainly no one can RHQ cause to become straight the things that God has caused to be crooked.
14When things are going well for you, be happy, and when things are not going well for you, remember that God is the one who causes good things to happen and who also causes disasters.
15During all the time that I have been alive I have seen a lot of HYP things that seem senseless. I have seen righteous people die while they are still young, and I have seen wicked people remain alive for a very long time in spite of their continuing to be wicked.
16So do not think that you are very righteous and do not think that you are very wise, because if you think those things, you will destroy yourself.
17If you do what is evil or do what is foolish, you might die while you are still young.
18Continue to avoid doing what is evil and doing what is foolish; avoid doing both of those things by continually revering God.
19If you are wise, you will be more powerful/influential than the ten most powerful/influential men in your city.
20There is no one in this world who always does what is right and who never sins.
