Ecclesiastes 8:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

Wisdom and Power

8 No one can understand and explain things the way wise people can. Their wisdom makes them happy. It changes a sad face into a happy one.

² I say you should always obey the king’s command. Do this because you made a promise to God. ³ Don’t be afraid to give suggestions to the king, and don’t support something that is wrong. But remember, the king gives the commands that please him.
