This new section returns to the style with which the book began (1:1): direct speech, exhortation to listen to the words to gain wisdom, and demonstration that wisdom leads to immortality. When addressing kings, the doctrine of the divine origin of power is assumed (Ps 2:10-12; Prov 8:15f; Rom 13:1-7), and the way they can secure the stability of their thrones is explained from a universalist perspective.
Wisdom or intelligence? Today, both are often seen as the same. Society values the wisdom of those who attain the highest positions. However, the text urges those in such roles to understand that God is close to the humble and is the master of life. That is genuine wisdom.
