Ecclesiastes 10:4-8

If the ruler’s temper rises against you, do not abandon your place, because composure puts great offenses to rest.

There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like a mistake that proceeds from the ruler:

foolishness is set in many exalted places while the rich sit in humble places.

I have seen slaves riding on horses and princes walking like slaves on the land.

One who digs a pit may fall into it, and a serpent may bite one who breaks through a wall.
