New International Version
Ecclesiastes 8:2-5
2Obey the king’s command, I say, because you took an oath before God.
3Do not be in a hurry to leave the king’s presence. Do not stand up for a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases.
4Since a king’s word is supreme, who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
5Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm, and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure.
