14
Learn where there is wisdom, where there is strength, where there is understanding, so that you may at the same time discern where there is length of days, and life, where there is light for the eyes, and peace.
15
Who has found her place? And who has entered her storehouses?
16
Where are the rulers of the nations, and those who lorded it over the animals on earth;
17
those who made sport of the birds of the air, and who hoarded up silver and gold in which people trust, and there is no end to their getting;
18
those who schemed to get silver, and were anxious, but there is no trace of their works?
