American King James Version
"Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say to him, What do you? "
— Ecclesiastes 8:4, American King James Version
“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?”
“For the king’s word hath power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou? ”
“for the king's word is supreme. Who can say to him, "What are you doing?"”
“Surely the king’s authority is absolute; no one can say to him,“What are you doing?””
“And his word is full of power: neither can any man say to him: Why dost thou so?”
“The word of a king has authority; and who may say to him, What is this you are doing?”
“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?”
Who is as the wise man? and who knows the interpretation of a thing? a man’s wisdom makes his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
I counsel you 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 does whatever pleases him.
Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say to him, What do you?
Whoever keeps the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerns both time and judgment. ¶
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great on him.
For he knows not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
