Ecclesiastes 8:2-4
Good News Translation

Obey the King

2 Do what the king says,[a] and don't make any rash promises to God. 3 The king can do anything he likes, so depart from his presence; don't stay in such a dangerous place. 4 The king acts with authority, and no one can challenge what he does.
