Ecclesiastes 8:2-5 ▼

2 Keep the king’s command because of your oath made before God.

3 Do not be in a hurry; leave his presence, and don’t persist in a bad cause, since he will do whatever he wants.

4 For the king’s word is authoritative, and who can say to him, “What are you doing? ”

5 The one who keeps a command will not experience anything harmful, and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure.
