And who knows the interpretation of a thing?
aA man’s wisdom makes his face shine,
And bthe sternness of his face is changed.

Obey Authorities for God’s Sake
2 I say, “Keep the king’s commandment afor the sake of your oath to God.
3 aDo not be hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand for an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him.”
5 He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful;
And a wise man’s heart1 discerns both time and judgment,
And a wise man’s heart1 discerns both time and judgment,
6 Because afor every matter there is a time and judgment,
Though the misery of man1 increases greatly.
Though the misery of man1 increases greatly.
