Ecclesiastes 8:3
King James Version
“Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.”
Context
1Who as the wise and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
2I to keep the king’s commandment, and in regard of the oath of God.
3Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
4Where the word of a king power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
5Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.
6Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man great upon him.
