Forkynneren 8,1

WisdomJoy
Hvem kan sammenlignes med den vise, og hvem forstår meningen med en sak? Visdom lyser opp en persons ansikt og myker opp dets strenghet.

2 Jeg råder deg til å holde kongens befaling på grunn av eden avlagt for Gud.

3 Ikke vær rask til å forlate hans nærvær. Ikke støtt en ond sak, for han vil handle som han ønsker.
