³ There were those who ruled in their kingdoms,
    and made a name for themselves by their valour;
those who gave counsel because they were intelligent;
    those who spoke in prophetic oracles;
⁴ those who led the people by their counsels
    and by their knowledge of the people’s lore;
    they were wise in their words of instruction;
⁵ those who composed musical tunes,
    or put verses in writing;
