“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?”

You should not hastily withdraw from his presence, nor should you remain in an evil work. For all that pleases him, he will do.
And his word is filled with authority. Neither is anyone able to say to him: “Why are you acting this way?”
Whoever keeps the commandment will not experience evil. The heart of a wise man understands the time to respond.
For every matter, there is a time and an opportunity, as well as many difficulties, for man.
