Ecclesiastes 8:1-4
1WhoH4310 is like the wiseH2450 manH2450 and whoH4310 knowsH3045 the interpretationH6592 of a matterH1697? A man’sH120 wisdomH2451 1illuminesH215 2him and causes his 3sternH5797 faceH6440 to 4beamH8132.
2I say, “KeepH8104 the 5commandH6310 of the kingH4428 becauseH5921H1697 of the 6oathH7621 7before GodH430. 3Do not be in a hurryH926 89to leaveH1980H4480 him. Do not joinH5975 in an evilH7451 matterH1697, for he will doH6213 whateverH3605H834 he pleasesH2654.” 4SinceH834 the wordH1697 of the kingH4428 is authoritativeH7983, 10whoH4310 will sayH559 to him, “WhatH4100 are you doingH6213?”
