Obey the King
2
Obey the king’s command, I say, because you took an oath before God.
3
Do not be in a hurry to leave the king’s presence. Do not stand up for a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases.
4
Since a king’s word is supreme, who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
5
Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm, and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure.
