2 I am to watch the king's mouth by reason of the oath of God. 3 Thou shalt not hasten going from his face: thou shalt not stand by the word of evil; for he shall do all that he will desire. 4 Wheresoever the word of a king, it is powerful: and who shall say to him, What wilt thou do? 5 He watching the command knew no evil word: and time and judgment the wise one will know.
