Ecclesiastes 8:4-6

Amplified Bible

⁴ 
For the word of a king is authoritative and powerful,
And who will say to him, “What are you doing?”
⁵ 
Whoever keeps and observes a royal command will experience neither trouble nor misery;
For a wise heart will know the ^[a]proper time and [appropriate] procedure.
⁶ 
For there is a ^[b]proper time and [appropriate] procedure for every delight,
Though mankind’s misery and trouble lies heavily upon him [who rebels against the king].
