Whoever obeys his command will not experience harm, and a wise person knows the proper time and procedure.

A poor but wise youth is better than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive advice.

though it never saw the light of day nor knew anything, yet it has more rest than that man –

For you know in your own heart that you also have cursed others many times.

Surely no one knows the future, and no one can tell another person what will happen.

The toil of a stupid fool wears him out, because he does not even know the way to the city.

yet a fool keeps on babbling. No one knows what will happen; who can tell him what will happen in the future?

Surely, no one knows his appointed time! Like fish that are caught in a deadly net, and like birds that are caught in a snare – just like them, all people are ensnared at an unfortunate time that falls upon them suddenly.
