Ecclesiastes 8:3-7

³Do not hurry out of his presence, and do not stand in support of something wrong, for the king does whatever he desires.

⁴The king's word rules, so who will say to him, “What are you doing?”

⁵Whoever keeps the king's commands avoids harm. A wise man's heart recognizes the proper course and time of action.

⁶For every matter there is a correct response and a time to respond, because the troubles of man are great.

⁷No one knows what is coming next. Who can tell him what is coming?
