2 I counsel you to keep the command of the king because of the oath before God [by which you swore loyalty to him].

3 Do not be in a hurry to get out of his presence. Do not join in a malevolent matter, for the king will do whatever he pleases.

4 For the word of a king is authoritative and powerful, And who will say to him, “What are you doing?”
