Ecclesiastes 8:2-7

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

³Be not hasty; you shall go forth out of his presence: stand not in an evil matter; for he will do whatever he shall please,

⁴even as a king having power: and who will say to him, What do you?

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

⁶For to every thing there is time and judgement; for the knowledge of a man is great to him.

⁷For there is no one that knows what is going to be: for who shall tell him how it shall be?
