1 Who is like the wise man and who knows the interpretation of a matter? A man's wisdom illumines him and causes his stern face to beam.
2 I say, "Keep the command of the king because of the oath before God.
3 Do not be in a hurry to leave him. Do not join in an evil matter, for he will do whatever he pleases."
4 Since the word of the king is authoritative, who will say to him, "What are you doing?"
