Ecclesiastes 8:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 Keep the command of the king[a]
because of your oath to God.[b]
3 Do not be terrified of his presence!
Go at once and do not delay when a matter is unpleasant,
for he can do anything that he desires.
4 Since the word of the king is supreme,
no one can say to him, “What are you doing?”
