2 I say: The mouth of a king you must keep, even for the sake of the oath of God. 3 Do not hurry to depart from his face; do not stand in an evil matter, for all that he delights in, he will do. 4 Where the word of a king is, power is, and who can say to him, “What are you doing?” 5 The one guarding a command will not know an evil thing, and the heart of a wise one knows a time and a judgment.
