Ecclesiastes 10:4-6

Eccl.10.4-Eccl.10.6

4If a ruler’s anger rises against you, do not leave your post; calmness can lay great offenses to rest. 5There is an evil I have seen under the sun, the sort of error that arises from a ruler: 6Fools are put in many high positions, while the rich occupy the low ones.
