In context

³Do not hasten to leave his presence, and do not persist in a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases.

⁴For the king’s word is supreme, and who can say to him, “What are you doing?”

⁵Whoever keeps his command will come to no harm, and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure.

⁶For there is a right time and procedure to every purpose, though a man’s misery weighs heavily upon him.

⁷Since no one knows what will happen, who can tell him what is to come?
