Ecclesiastes 10:4-10

4If a ruler’s spirit rises up against you, do not leave your post, for composure allays great offences.

5There is a wrong I have seen under the sun like an error proceeding from a ruler.

6Fools are placed in many high positions, while the rich sit in low ones.

7I have seen slaves on horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves.

8Whoever digs a pit may fall into it, and whoever breaks through a fence may be bitten by a snake.

9Whoever quarries stones may be hurt by them, and whoever splits logs may be endangered by them.

10If the iron axe is blunt and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must exert more force. So wisdom has the advantage of giving success.
