1 The wisdom of a man shines in his countenance, and even the expression of a most powerful man will change.
2 I heed the mouth of the king, and the commandment of an oath to God.
3 You should not hastily withdraw from his presence, nor should you remain in an evil work. For all that pleases him, he will do.
4 And his word is filled with authority. Neither is anyone able to say to him: "Why are you acting this way?"
5 Whoever keeps the commandment will not experience evil. The heart of a wise man understands the time to respond.
6 For every matter, there is a time and an opportunity, as well as many difficulties, for man.
