Ecclesiastes 8:2-6
Legacy Standard Bible
2 I say, “Keep the [a]command of the king because of the (A)sworn oath [b]before God. 3 Do not be in a hurry (B)to go from his presence. Do not stand in an evil matter, for he will do whatever he pleases.” 4 Since the word of the king is powerful, (C)who will say to him, “What are you doing?”
5 He who (D)keeps a royal command (E)experiences no evil thing, for a wise heart knows the proper time and custom. 6 For (F)there is a proper time and custom for every [c]matter, though a man’s trouble is multiplied upon him.

Ecclesiastes 8:2-6
English Standard Version
2 I say:[a] Keep the king's command, because of (A)God's oath to him.[b] 3 Be not hasty to (B)go from his presence. Do not take your stand in an evil cause, for he does whatever he pleases. 4 For the word of the king is supreme, and (C)who may say to him, “What are you doing?” 5 Whoever keeps a command will know no evil thing, and the wise heart will know the proper time and the just way.[c] 6 For there is a time and a way (D)for everything, although man's trouble[d] lies heavy on him.
