Kohelet 8:1-3 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Who is the chacham? And who knoweth the pesher (interpretation, explanation) of a thing? A man's chochmah maketh his face bright, and the rudeness of his face is changed.

2. I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that because of the shevuat Elohim (the oath of G-d).

3. Be not hasty to go out of his sight; stand not in a rah (an evil matter); for he executeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
