4. For the devar melech is shilton (supreme), and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
5. Whoso is shomer mitzvah shall meet no harm; and a lev of a chacham discerneth both et (time) and mishpat (judgment).
6. Because every matter has its et (time) and mishpat (judgment), though the ra'at haAdam be great upon him.
7. For he has no da'as of that which shall be; for who can tell him how it will be?
8. There is no adam that hath power over the ruach to restrain ruach; neither hath he shilton (power) over the yom hamavet; and there is no discharge in war; neither shall resha deliver its possessor.
9. All this have I seen, and applied my lev unto every ma'aseh (labor, work) that has been done under the shemesh wherein one adam ruleth over another adam to the other's hurt.
