King James Version with Apocrypha
"Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him."
— Ecclesiastes 8:3, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.”
“Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. ”
“Don't be hasty to go out of his presence. Don't persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,”
“Do not rush out of the king’s presence in haste– do not delay when the matter is unpleasant, for he can do whatever he pleases.”
“Be not hasty to depart from his face, and do not continue in an evil work: for he will do all that pleaseth him:”
“Be not quick to go from before him. Be not fixed in an evil design, because he does whatever is pleasing to him.”
Who is as the wise man? 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.
I counsel thee to keep the king’s commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.
Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
