EasyEnglish Bible

18 Remember both these things.
    Do not forget either of them.
You can do that if you respect God and you obey him.[a]

19 Wisdom makes a wise person more powerful
    than ten rulers in a city.
20 There is nobody on the earth who is so righteous
    that they always do what is right.
    There is nobody who never does a wrong thing.
