1 WHO is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face to shine, but he who is impudent shall be hated. 2 Keep the king's command, and in regard of the oath of God be not hasty. 3 Go from his presence; and do not stand firm in an evil matter; for he does whatsoever pleases him. 4 In what manner the king speaks is lawful; and who can say to him, What are you doing? 5 He who keeps a command shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerns both time and judgment.
