Ecclesiastes 10:5-8

⁵There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were by an error proceeding from the face of the prince:

⁶A fool set in high dignity, and the rich sitting beneath.

⁷I have seen servants upon horses: and princes walking on the ground as servants.

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