“Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.”
The assurance that whoever keeps a commandment will know no harm, and that a wise heart knows its time and way, suggests that obedience to authority brings safety. The phrase about knowing times and ways echoes the vision of chapter 3, implying that wisdom involves recognizing the proper moment for action and its proper mode. This verse counsels prudence in dealings with power.
