2 I [advise] you to obey the king's commands because of the oath you took in God's presence. 3 Don't be in a hurry to leave the king's service. Don't take part in something evil, because he can do whatever he pleases. 4 Since a king's word has such power, no one can ask him what he is doing. 5 Whoever obeys his commands will avoid trouble. The mind of a wise person will know the right time and the right way [to act]. Ecclesiastes 8:2-5, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
