Ecclesiastes 8:1-4

1Who is as the wiseH2450 manH120? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thingH1697? A man’sH120 wisdomH2451 maketh his faceH6440 to shineH215, and the hardness of his faceH6440 is changed.

2I counsel thee, KeepH8104 the king’sH4428 command, and that in regard of the oathH7621 of GodH430.

3Be not hasty to go out of his presenceH6440; persist not in an evilH7451 thingH1697: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

4For the king’sH4428 wordH1697 hath power; and who may sayH559 unto him, What doest thou?
