3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight; stand not in a rah (an evil matter); for he executeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
4 For the devar melech is shilton (supreme), and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
5 Whoso is shomer mitzvah shall meet no harm; and a lev of a chacham discerneth both et (time) and mishpat (judgment).
6 Because every matter has its et (time) and mishpat (judgment), though the ra'at haAdam be great upon him.
7 For he has no da'as of that which shall be; for who can tell him how it will be?
8 There is no adam that hath power over the ruach to restrain ruach; neither hath he shilton (power) over the yom hamavet; and there is no discharge in war; neither shall resha deliver its possessor.
9 All this have I seen, and applied my lev unto every ma'aseh (labor, work) that has been done under the shemesh wherein one adam ruleth over another adam to the other's hurt.
