Ecclesiastes 10:2-9

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

³Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

⁴If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences.

⁵There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

⁶folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.

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

⁸He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.

⁹Whoso heweth out stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby.
