Ecclesiastes 10:6 ASV

⁴  If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences.

⁵  There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

⁶  folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.

⁷  I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking like servants upon the earth.

⁸  He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.
