Ecclesiastes 10:5-9

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.

One who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and one who splits logs may be endangered by them.
