I’m working on Precepts from the Exeter Book and I came across this line (26b). It’s a clear case of knowing what the words literally mean, but not understanding the sense of the idea.

I rendered it after a lot of thought as “About the rich, let it be just as it can be” but something doesn’t strike me as satisfying about that.

Any ideas you feel like sharing? Hit me up via the comments window below. Thank you in advance.
