Ecclesiastes 8:3-7

³Be not quick to go from before him. Be not fixed in an evil design, because he does whatever is pleasing to him.

⁴The word of a king has authority; and who may say to him, What is this you are doing?

⁵Whoever keeps the law will come to no evil: and a wise man's heart has knowledge of time and of decision.

⁶For every purpose there is a time and a decision, because the sorrow of man is great in him.

⁷No one is certain what is to be, and who is able to say to him when it will be?
