3 Ne te hâte pas de t’éloigner de lui, et ne persiste pas dans une chose mauvaise: car il peut faire tout ce qui lui plaît,
4 parce que la parole du roi est puissante; et qui lui dira: Que fais-tu?
5 Celui qui observe le commandement ne connaît point de chose mauvaise, et le cœur du sage connaît le temps et le jugement.
6 Car il y a pour toute chose un temps et un jugement, quand le malheur accable l’homme.
7 Mais il ne sait point ce qui arrivera, et qui lui dira comment cela arrivera?
