Kings are greatly to be respected.1 ¶ Who² [is] as the wiseº [man]? and who² knowethºª the interpretationº of a thing?º a man'sº wisdomº maketh his faceº to shine,ºª and the boldnessº of his faceº shall be changed.ºª 2 I² [counsel thee] to keepºª the king'sº commandment,º and [that] in regardº² of the oathº of God.º 3 Be not² hastyºª to go² out¹ª of his sight:º² standºª not² in an evilº thing;º for² he doethºª whatsoever²² pleasethºª him. 4 Where² the wordº of a kingº [is, there is] power:º and who² may sayºª unto him, What² doestºª thou? 5 Whoso keepethºª the commandmentº shall feelºª no² evilº thing:º and a wise man'sº heartº discernethºª both timeº and judgment.º [1] Gn 40:8; 41:15, 38; Ex 34:29; Dt 28:50; Jb 33:23; Pv 1:6; 4:8; 17:24; 24:5; Ec 2:13; Dn 2:28, 47; 4:18; Mt 17:2; Ac 4:13, 29; 6:15; 1Co 2:13; Ep 6:19; 2Ti 4:17; 2P 1:20.

The divine providence is to be observed.6 ¶ Because² to every² purposeº there isº timeº and judgment,º therefore² the miseryº of manº [is] greatº upon² him. 7 For² he knowethºª not² that² which shall be:²² for² who² can tellºª him when² it shall be?² 8 [There is] no² manº that hath powerº over the spiritº to retainºª² the spirit;º neither² [hath he] powerº in the dayº of death:º and [there is] no² dischargeº in [that] war;º neither² shall wickednessº deliverºª² those that are givenº to it. 9 All² this² have I seen,ºª and appliedºª² my heartº unto every² workº that² is doneºª under² the sun:º [there is] a timeº wherein² one manº ruleth¹ª over² another² to his own hurt.º 10 And soº I sawºª the wickedº buried,ºª who had comeºª and goneºª from the placeº² of the holy,º and they were forgottenºª in the cityº where² they had so² done:ºª this² [is] also² vanity.º 11 Because² sentence¹ against² an evilº workº is not² executedºª speedily,º therefore²² the heartº of the sonsº of menº is fully setºª in them to doºª evil.º [6] Ec 3:1, 11, 17; 7:13; 11:9; 12:1; Is 3:11; 22:12; Lk 13:25; 17:26; 19:42; He 3:7.

It is better with the godly in adversity, than with the wicked in prosperity.12 ¶ Though² a sinnerºª doºª evilº an hundred times,º and his [days] be prolonged,ºª yet² surely² I² knowºª that² it shall be² wellº with them that fearº God,º which² fearºª beforeº² him: 13 But it shall not² be² wellº with the wicked,º neither² shall he prolongºª [his] days,º [which are] as a shadow;º because² he feareth¹² not² beforeº² God.º 14 There isº a vanityº which² is doneºª upon² the earth;º that² there be² justº [men], unto whom²² it happenethºª according to the workº of the wicked;º again, there beº wickedº [men], to² whom it happenethºª² according to the workº of the righteous:º I saidºª that this alsoº²² [is] vanity.º 15 Then I² commendedºª² mirth,º because² a manº hath no² better² thing¹ under² the sun,º than²² to eat,ºª and to drink,ºª and to be merry:ºª for that² shall abideºª with him of his labourº the daysº of his life,º which² Godº givethºª him under² the sun.º [12] 1K 2:5; 21:25; 22:34; 1Ch 16:30; Ps 37:11, 18; 96:9; 112:1; 115:13; Pv 1:32; 13:21; Ec 3:14; 5:16; 7:15, 18; Is 3:10; 65:13, 20; Mt 25:34, 41; Lk 1:50; Ro 2:5; 9:22; 2P 2:9.
