Ecclesiastes 8:3-5

The Voice

³ Don’t be in a hurry to leave the king’s presence or throw your support behind a bad cause, because the king can do whatever he wishes. ⁴ Since the king has the power to enforce his word, who dares ask him, “What are you doing?” ⁵ Whoever does what the king commands will stay out of trouble, and the wise heart will figure out the proper time and proper way to proceed.
