1 Who as the wise one? and who will know the interpretation of the word? The wisdom of man shall enlighten his face, and the hard of face shall be hated. 2 I am to watch the king's mouth by reason of the oath of God. 3 Thou shalt not hasten going from his face: thou shalt not stand by the word of evil; for he shall do all that he will desire. 4 Wheresoever the word of a king, it is powerful: and who shall say to him, What wilt thou do?
