Ecclesiastes 10:4-10

4If your boss is angry at you, don’t quit! A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes.

5There is another evil I have seen under the sun. Kings and rulers make a grave mistake

6when they give great authority to foolish people and low positions to people of proven worth.

7I have even seen servants riding horseback like princes—and princes walking like servants!

8When you dig a well, you might fall in. When you demolish an old wall, you could be bitten by a snake.

9When you work in a quarry, stones might fall and crush you. When you chop wood, there is danger with each stroke of your ax.

10Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed.
