Ecclesiastes 10:8 BBE

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.

⁹  He who gets out stones from the earth will be damaged by them, and in the cutting of wood there is danger.

¹⁰  If the iron has no edge, and he does not make it sharp, then he has to put out more strength; but wisdom makes things go well.
