God’s Word Translation
Ecclesiastes 8:2-5
2I ⌞advise⌟ you to obey the king’s commands because of the oath you took in God’s presence.
3Don’t be in a hurry to leave the king’s service. Don’t take part in something evil, because he can do whatever he pleases.
4Since a king’s word has such power, no one can ask him what he is doing.
5Whoever obeys his commands will avoid trouble. The mind of a wise person will know the right time and the right way ⌞to act⌟.
