Ecclesiastes 8:3

3 do not be in a hurry. Leave his presence, and don't persist in a bad cause, since he will do whatever he wants.

Ecclesiastes 8:3 In-Context

1 Who is like the wise person, and who knows the interpretation of a matter? A man's wisdom brightens his face, and the sternness of his face is changed.
2 Keep the king's command. Concerning an oath by God,
3 do not be in a hurry. Leave his presence, and don't persist in a bad cause, since he will do whatever he wants.
4 For the king's word is authoritative, and who can say to him, "What are you doing?"
5 The one who keeps a command will not experience anything harmful, and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure.
