Ecclesiastes 10:4-7
4If the ruler’s 1temper rises against you, 2do not abandon your position, because 3composure allays great offenses.
5There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like an error which goes forth from the ruler-- 64folly is set in many exalted places while rich men sit in humble places. 7I have seen 5slaves riding 6on horses and princes walking like slaves on the land.
