What happens:
- Solomon looks at two things - obeying the king and living like a criminal.
Meaning:
- He talks about obeying the king to avoid trouble. This could mean that we shold behave in a way that doesn't go against the rulers.
- Then he talks about living like a criminal which kind of contradicts what he just said because he says that it is tempting to be a criminal because they do bad things but live to be old. Solomon seems focused on materials things, not God.
Stuff for us:
- We should obey the rules of the land.
- The life of crime is tempting but we should not give in the tempatations it offers.
