TSK · Ecclesiastes 8:4

Notwithstanding, the kinges word preuayled agaynst Ioab & against the captaines of the hoast: And Ioab & the captaynes of the hoast, went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.

And king Solomon sent by the hande of Banaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and he smote him that he died.

So the king commaunded Banaiah the sonne of Iehoiada: which went out, and smote him that he died: And the kingdome was stablished in the hande of Solomon.

If he be hastie to take away, who wil make him restore it? or who will say vnto hym, what doest thou?

Is it reason that thou shouldest say to the king, Thou art wicked, or thou art vngodly, and that before the princes?

The feare of the king is as the roaring of a Lion, who so prouoketh hym vnto anger, offendeth against his owne soule.

Nowe therfore be redy when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, shawme, psaltries, dulcimers, and al instrumentes of musicke, to fal downe and worship the image whiche I haue made: for if ye worship it not, ye shalbe cast immediatly into the mids of a hot firie fornace: for who is that God that can deliuer you out of my handes?

And I say vnto you my friendes, be not afrayde of them that kyll the body, and after that, haue no more that they can do.

Let euery soule be subiect vnto the hyer powers: For there is no power but of god. The powers that be, are ordeyned of God.
