Ecclesiastes 10:4-7

⁴If the spirit of the ruler riseth against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offenses.

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

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

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