Ecclesiastes 10:2-8

²A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

³Yes, and whenever a fool walks by the way, his heart will fail him, and all that he thinks of is folly.

⁴If the spirit of the ruler rise up against you, leave not your place; for soothing will put an end to great offenses.

⁵There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, wherein an error has proceeded from the ruler.

⁶The fool has been set in very high places, while rich men would sit in a low one.

⁷I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants on the earth.

⁸He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and him that breaks down a hedge a serpent shall bite.
