1 Who is like the wise one, and who knows the interpretation of a thing? The wisdom of a man makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed. 2 I say: The mouth of a king you must keep, even for the sake of the oath of God. 3 Do not hurry to depart from his face; do not stand in an evil matter, for all that he delights in, he will do. 4 Where the word of a king is, power is, and who can say to him, “What are you doing?” 5 The one guarding a command will not know an evil thing, and the heart of a wise one knows a time and a judgment. Ecclesiastes 8:1-5, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
