1 Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

2 Keep the king's command, because of the oath to God.

3 Do not be hasty to go out of his presence. Do not persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,

4 for the king's word is supreme. Who can say to him, |What are you doing?|
