Ecclesiastes 10:4-6
New International Version
4 If a ruler’s anger rises against you,
do not leave your post;(A)
calmness can lay great offenses to rest.(B)
5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun,
the sort of error that arises from a ruler:
6 Fools are put in many high positions,(C)
while the rich occupy the low ones.
Ecclesiastes 10:4-6
King James Version
4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
