3Do not be in a hurry; leave his presence, and don’t persist in a bad cause, since he will do whatever he wants. 4For the king’s word is authoritative, and who can say to him, "What are you doing?" 5The one who keeps a command will not experience anything harmful, and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure.New Living Translation

3Be not hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand in an evil cause, for he does whatever he pleases. 4For the word of the king is supreme, and who may say to him, "What are you doing?" 5Whoever keeps a command will know no evil thing, and the wise heart will know the proper time and the just way.New International Version
