Berean Standard Bible

Ecclesiastes 10:4-10

4If the ruler’s temper flares against you, do not abandon your post, for calmness lays great offenses to rest.

5There is an evil I have seen under the sun—an error that proceeds from the ruler:6Folly is appointed to great heights,but the rich sit in lowly positions.7I have seen slaves on horseback,while princes go on foot like slaves.

8He who digs a pit may fall into it,and he who breaches a wall may be bitten by a snake.9The one who quarries stones may be injured by them,and he who splits logs endangers himself.10If the axe is dull and the blade unsharpened,more strength must be exerted,but skill produces success.
