For they, the kings, long to hear the words of wisdom. And as if to hear the words that issue from them, in the words of wisdom that are spoken by them, they are subjected to other kings as if they were their own. And as if to hear from other kings, just as they are to them, from the wisdom that is within them, they desire to hear from them when they speak. They desire to hear from them when they speak. And to hear from them when they speak. And to hear from them when they speak. The repetition in the source text is a characteristic feature of this specific manuscript's scribal practice, emphasizing the constant instruction and cycle of wisdom shared between monarchs.
