Ecclesiastes 8:2-4
Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha
CEBA
New International Version
NIV
2
Keep the king's command as you would keep a solemn pledge.
2
Obey the king’s command, I say, because you took an oath before God.
3
Don't be dismayed; leave his presence. Don't linger in a harmful situation because he can do whatever he wants!
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
Because the king's word has authority, no one can say to him, "What are you doing?"
4
Since a king’s word is supreme, who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
