Ecclesiastes 10:2-4

Good News Translation

² It is natural for the wise to do the right thing and for fools to do the wrong thing. ³ Their stupidity will be evident even to strangers they meet along the way; they let everyone know that they are fools.

⁴ If your ruler becomes angry with you, do not hand in your resignation; serious wrongs may be pardoned if you keep calm.^[a]
