Ecclesiastes 8:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ For the king’s word is authoritative, and who can say to him, “What are you doing?” ^{(A) 5} The one who keeps a command will not experience anything harmful,^(B) and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure. ⁶ For every activity there is a right time and procedure,^(C) even though a person’s troubles are heavy on him.
