Ecclesiastes 8:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ Since a king’s word has such power, no one can ask him what he is doing. ⁵ Whoever obeys his commands will avoid trouble. The mind of a wise person will know the right time and the right way ⌞to act⌟. ⁶ There is a right time and a right way ⌞to act⌟ in every situation. Yet, a terrible human tragedy hangs over people.
