Ecclesiastes 10:3-8 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. Fools lack all sense even when they walk down the street;they show everyone that they are fools.

4. If a ruler’s temper rises against you,don’t leave your post, because calmness alleviates great offenses.

5. There’s an evil that I have seen under the sun: the kind of mistake that comes from people in power.

6. Fools are appointed to high posts, while the rich sit in lowly positions.

7. I have seen slaves on horseback, while princes walk on foot like slaves.

8. Whoever digs a pit may fall into it,and whoever breaks through a wallmay be bitten by a snake.
