2I say, “KeepH8104 the 1commandH6310 of the kingH4428 becauseH5921H1697 of the 2oathH7621 3before GodH430. 3Do not beH926 inH926 aH926 hurryH926 45to leaveH1980H4480 him. Do not joinH5975 in an evilH7451 matterH1697, for he will doH6213 whateverH3605H834 he pleasesH2654.” 4SinceH834 the wordH1697 of the kingH4428 is authoritativeH7983, 6whoH4310 will sayH559 to him, “WhatH4100 are you doingH6213?”
