Ecclesiastes 8:1-6 (NKJV)

8 Who is like a wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine,
And the [a]sternness of his face is changed.

Obey Authorities for God’s Sake:

2 I say, “Keep the king’s commandment for the sake of your oath to God.

3 Do not be hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand for an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him.”

4 Where the word of a king is, there is power; And who may say to him, “What are you doing?”

5 He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful; And a wise man’s heart [b]discerns both time and judgment,
6 Because for every matter there is a time and judgment, Though the misery of man increases greatly.

Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 (NKJV)

11 I returned and saw under the sun that—

The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.

12 For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare,
So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them
