1 Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.
2 I say, 'Keep the king's command!' because of the oath to God.
3 Don't be hasty to go out of his presence. Don't persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,
4 for the king's word is supreme. Who can say to him, 'What are you doing?'
5 Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.
