"Be careful how you conduct yourself"

# General Information

The author describes the pointlessness of pursuing material things. This is known as "materialism." Those who pursue after things will always want more. At the end of their life, they will not be able to use these things. The ULB sets poetry (5:2-3, and 5:10-17) farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry.
