Ecclesiastes 8:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

8 Who is really wise? Who knows how to explain things? Wisdom makes one’s face shine, and it changes one’s grim look.

The Power of Kings Versus the Power of Death

² I ⌞advise⌟ you to obey the king’s commands because of the oath you took in God’s presence. ³ Don’t be in a hurry to leave the king’s service. Don’t take part in something evil, because he can do whatever he pleases.
