Ecclesiastes 8:4-6
New International Version
4 Since a king’s word is supreme, who can say to him, “What are you doing?(A)”
5 Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm,
and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure.
6 For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter,(B)
though a person may be weighed down by misery.
