Ecclesiastes 8:5-7

The Voice

⁵ Whoever does what the king commands will stay out of trouble, and the wise heart will figure out the proper time and proper way to proceed. ⁶ Yes, there is a time and a way to deal with every situation, even when a person’s troubles are on the rise. ⁷ For no one knows what is going to happen, so who can warn him before it does?
