Ecclesiastes 8:1-3
New American Standard Bible 1995
Obey Rulers
8 Who is like the wise man and who knows the interpretation of a matter? A man’s wisdom (A)illumines [a]him and causes his (B)stern face to [b]beam.
2 I say, “Keep the [c]command of the king because of the (C)oath [d]before God. 3 Do not be in a hurry [e](D)to leave him. Do not join in an evil matter, for he will do whatever he pleases.”
