Ecclesiastes 10:2-9

²The heart of a wise person tends to the right, but the heart of a fool tends to the left.

³When a fool walks down a road, his thinking is deficient, proving to everyone he is a fool.

⁴If the emotions of a ruler rise up against you, do not leave your work. Calm can quiet down great outrage.

⁵There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, a kind of error that comes from a ruler:

⁶Fools are given leadership positions, while successful men are given low positions.

⁷I have seen slaves riding horses, and successful men walking like slaves on the ground.

⁸Anyone who digs a pit can fall into it, and whenever someone breaks down a wall, a snake can bite him.

⁹Whoever cuts out stones can be hurt by them, and the man who chops wood is endangered by it.
