Ecclesiastes 10:4-7

« Eccles 9Eccles 10Eccles 11 »

4 If the ruler’s ¹temper rises against you, ^ado not abandon your position, because ^bcalmness causes great offenses to be abandoned.
5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like a mistake which goes forth from the one in power— 6 ¹^afolly is set in many exalted places while rich men sit in humble places. 7 I have seen ^aslaves riding ^bon horses and princes walking like slaves on the land.
