I said , The bidding of the king, observe thou, even out of regard to the oath of God.

Not rashly from his presence, shouldst thou go: do not take thy stand in a vexatious thing, - for, whatsoever he pleaseth, he will do.

Where the word of a king is, there is power, - who then may say to him, What wouldst thou do?

He that observeth the commandment, will not notice a vexatious thing, - and, of time and manner, will the heart of the wise take note.

For, to every pursuit, there is a time and a manner, - when, the vexation of man, is great concerning it.
