Levnadsregler och tänkespråk
8 Vem är lik den vise, och vem kan förklara saker och ting?
Visheten gör människans ansikte ljust,
det stränga i hennes uppsyn förvandlas.
2 Jag säger: Akta på kungens ord
för den eds skull som du har svurit vid Gud.
3 Var inte snar att överge honom,
framhärda inte i något ont.
Han gör allt vad han vill.

Ecclesiastes 8:1-3
New International Version
8 Who is like the wise?
Who knows the explanation of things?
A person’s wisdom brightens their face
and changes its hard appearance.
Obey the King
2 Obey the king’s command, I say, because you took an oath before God. 3 Do not be in a hurry to leave the king’s presence.(A) Do not stand up for a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases.

3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
