Ecclesiastes 10:4-9

⁴If the spirite of him that ruleth, rise vp against thee, leaue not thy place: for gentlenes pacifieth great sinnes.

⁵There is an euil that I haue seene vnder the sunne, as an errour that proceedeth from the face of him that ruleth.

⁶Follie is set in great excellencie, and the riche set in the lowe place.

⁷I haue seene seruants on horses, and princes walking as seruants on the ground.

⁸He that diggeth a pit, shall fal into it, and he that breaketh the hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

⁹He that remooueth stones, shall hurt himselfe thereby, and hee that cutteth wood, shall be in danger thereby.
