Once again, showing respect for parents is a sign of wisdom (20); Mosaic law also stresses healthy relationships with parents (cf. Ex 21:15, 17; Lv 19:3; 20:9). This strong bond with those who gave us life also promotes proper behavior toward others: not taking justice into our own hands (22), using weights and measures correctly in trade (23), and making wise life choices (25). Those who act rightly are compared to a good and merciful king, whose throne is secure because of his commitment to justice (28).
