Proverbs 8:1-6

8 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation (understanding) of a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness (sterness) of his face shall be changed.

² I counsel thee (I say then) to keep the king’s commandment, and that in regard (on account) of the oath of God.

³ Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand (do not take they stand) not in an evil (breaking up that which is good; moral dipravity or corruption) thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

⁴ Where the word of a king is, there is power (might, control): and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

⁵ Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both (a) time (yea) and judgment (a judgement time).

⁶ Because to every purpose (desire, delight) there is time and judgment (a time, yea a judgement time), therefore the misery (when the evil) of man is great upon him.

¹⁵ Then I commended mirth (gladness or gaiety accompanied by laughter), because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
