હું તને ભલામણ કરું છું કે રાજાની આજ્ઞાનું પાલન કર, વળી ઈશ્વરના સોગનને લક્ષમાં રાખીને તે પાળ.

In context

1Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

2I say, “Keep the king’s command!” because of the oath to God.

3Don’t be hasty to go out of his presence. Don’t persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,

4for the king’s word is supreme. Who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
