Ecclesiastes 8:1-6

¹A man’s wisdom will lighten his countenance; But a man of shameless countenance will be hated.

²Observe the commandment of the king, And that because of the word of the oath of God.

³Be not hasty; thou shalt go forth out of his presence: Stand not in an evil matter; For he will do whatsoever he shall please,

⁴Even as a king having power: And who will say to him, What doest thou?

⁵He that keeps the commandment shall not know an evil thing: And the heart of the wise knows the time of judgment.

⁶For to everything there is time and judgment; For the knowledge of a man is great to him.
