NASB
""Do not be in a hurry to leave him. Do not join in an evil matter, for he will do whatever he pleases.""
— Ecclesiastes 8:3, NASB
“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.”
“Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.”
Who is like the wise man and who knows the interpretation of a matter? A man's wisdom illumines him and causes his stern face to beam.
I say, "Keep the command of the king because of the oath before God.
"Do not be in a hurry to leave him. Do not join in an evil matter, for he will do whatever he pleases."
Since the word of the king is authoritative, who will say to him, "What are you doing?"
He who keeps a royal command experiences no trouble, for a wise heart knows the proper time and procedure.
For there is a proper time and procedure for every delight, though a man's trouble is heavy upon him.
