1 Who is as the wise man? and who is as he who knows the interpretation of all things? The wisdom of this man shall make his face to shine, and the coarseness of his face shall be changed.
2 I counsel thee to keep the king’s commandment and the word of the covenant that thou hast made with God.
3 Do not be hasty to rebel against him; do not persist in any evil thing, for he shall do whatsoever pleases him;
4 because the word of the king is his power and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
5 Whosoever keeps the commandment shall experience no evil thing, and a wise man’s heart discerns both time and judgment.
