1 Who knows the wise? and who knows the interpretation of a saying? A man's wisdom will lighten his countenance; but a man of shameless countenance will be hated. 2 Observe the commandment of the king, and that because of the word of the oath of God. 3 Be not hasty; thou shalt go forth out of his presence: stand not in an evil matter; for he will do whatsoever he shall please, 4 even as a king having power: and who will say to him, What doest thou? 5 He that keeps the commandment shall not know an evil thing: and the heart of the wise knows the time of judgement. Ecclesiastes 8:1-5, Brenton Septuagint Translation. Public domain.
