Ecclesiastes 10:6

2 A wise man’s heart inclines to the right, but the heart of a fool to the left.

3 Even as the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking, and he shows everyone that he is a fool.

4 If the ruler’s temper flares against you, do not abandon your post, for calmness lays great offenses to rest.

5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun—an error that proceeds from the ruler:

6 Folly is appointed to great heights, but the rich sit in lowly positions.

7 I have seen slaves on horseback, while princes go on foot like slaves.

8 He who digs a pit may fall into it, and he who breaches a wall may be bitten by a snake.

9 The one who quarries stones may be injured by them, and he who splits logs endangers himself.

10 If the axe is dull and the blade unsharpened, more strength must be exerted, but skill produces success.
