1 Who is a wise person? Who knows the solution to a problem?A person’s wisdom brightens his appearance, and softens his harsh countenance.
2 Obey the king’s command,because you took an oath before God to be loyal to him.
3 Do not rush out of the king’s presence in haste – do not delay when the matter is unpleasant,for he can do whatever he pleases.
4 Surely the king’s authority is absolute;no one can say to him, “What are you doing?”
5 Whoever obeys his command will not experience harm,and a wise person knows the proper time and procedure.
