3 The sensible person will trust in the law; for such a one the law is as dependable as a divine oracle.
4 Prepare what to say, and then you will be listened to; draw upon your training, and give your answer.
5 The heart of a fool is like a cart wheel, and his thoughts like a turning axle.
6 A mocking friend is like a stallion that neighs no matter who the rider is.
7 Why is one day more important than another, when all the daylight in the year is from the sun?
