Ecclesiastes 10:6 BBE

⁴  If the wrath of the ruler is against you, keep in your place; in him who keeps quiet even great sins may be overlooked.

⁵  There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which comes by chance from a ruler:

⁶  The foolish are placed in high positions, but men of wealth are kept low.

⁷  I have seen servants on horses, and rulers walking on the earth as servants.

⁸  He who makes a hole for others will himself go into it, and for him who makes a hole through a wall the bite of a snake will be a punishment.
