Some translations prefer to set apart extended quotations, prayers, or songs. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of chapter 7, which is an extended quotation. Some lines are indented twice to further set them apart.

Advice
This chapter gives a series of disconnected pieces of advice. Translators should not try to smooth the transitions between these pieces of advice. The advice in these statements do not apply in every situation. Therefore, they should be seen as "good ideas."
