Ecclesiastes 10:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ Fools are ensconced in a lofty position,
    while the rich sit in a lowly place.
⁷ I have seen slaves on horseback
    while princes walked on foot like slaves.
⁸ Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
    and whoever breaks through a wall
    will be bitten by a snake.
