Verse 2 is found in chapter 8 of Ecclesiastes. Wisdom can brighten the face and teach how to behave before an authority. Qohelet recommends prudence regarding the king’s command, especially when an oath is involved. However, he recognizes that human power has limits and that no one completely controls the day of death. Political authority can command many things, but it cannot eliminate the mortal condition that affects ruler and subject alike.
