Ecclesiastes 10:2-7

²If people think sensibly, it will lead them to do what is right; if they think foolishly, it causes them to do what is wrong.

³Even while foolish people walk along the road, they show that they do not have good sense; they show everyone that they are not wise.

⁴Do not quit working for a ruler when he is angry with you; if you remain calm, he will probably stop being angry.

⁵There is something else that I have seen here on this earth, something that rulers sometimes do that is wrong/inappropriate:

⁶They appoint foolish people to have important positions, while they appoint rich people to have unimportant positions.

⁷They allow slaves to ride on horses like rich people usually do, but they force officials to walk like slaves usually do.
