Ecclesiastes 8:2-4

New Living Translation

Obedience to the King

²Obey the king since you vowed to God that you would. ³Don’t try to avoid doing your duty, and don’t stand with those who plot evil, for the king can do whatever he wants. ⁴His command is backed by great power. No one can resist or question it.
