Ecclesiastes 8:2-5

1. 2 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.

2. 3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

3. 4 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

4. 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
