Ecclesiastes 8:2-6
New International Reader's Version
Obey the King
2 I’m telling you to obey the king’s command. You promised to serve him. You made a promise to God. 3 Don’t be in a hurry to quit your job in the palace. Don’t stand up for something the king doesn’t like. He’ll do anything he wants to. 4 The king has the final word. So who can ask him, “What are you doing?”
5 No one who obeys his command will be harmed.
Those who are wise will know the proper time and way to approach him.
6 There’s a proper time and way for people to do everything.
That’s true even though a person might be suffering greatly.
