Quotation zu Kohelet 8:3
אַל־תִּבָּהֵ֤ל מִפָּנָיו֙ תֵּלֵ֔ךְ אַֽל־תַּעֲמֹ֖ד בְּדָבָ֣ר רָ֑ע כִּ֛י כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר יַחְפֹּ֖ץ יַעֲשֶֽׂה׃
Gehe nicht in Taumel von ihm, begib dich auch nicht in Gefahr, denn alles, was er will, tut er.
Footnotes to Kohelet by Bruce Heitler
To be in a hurry" could also mean "to be afraid". Compare verse 5:1 where the same ambiguity is achieved with regard to whether to flee or dig in one's heels.
