Ecclesiastes 8:2-8 - Obedience To The King

2 I am to watch the king's mouth by reason of the oath of God. 3 Thou shalt not hasten going from his face: thou shalt not stand by the word of evil; for he shall do all that he will desire. 4 Wheresoever the word of a king, it is powerful: and who shall say to him, What wilt thou do? 5 He watching the command knew no evil word: and time and judgment the wise one will know. 6 To every inclination there is time and judgment; for man's evil is great upon him. 7 For he will not know what shall be: for as it shall be who shall announce to him? 8 No man having power in spirit to restrain the spirit: and no power in the day of death: and no sending forth in war; and injustice shall not deliver its possessors.
