Ecclesiastes 10:6-8

The Message

^5-7 Here’s a piece of bad business I’ve seen on this earth,
An error that can be blamed on whoever is in charge:
Immaturity is given a place of prominence,
While maturity is made to take a backseat.
I’ve seen unproven upstarts riding in style,
While experienced veterans are put out to pasture.

⁸ Caution: The trap you set might catch you.
Warning: Your accomplice in crime might double-cross you.
