Ecclesiastes 10:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish ^(A)man’s heart directs him toward the left. ³ Even when the fool walks along the road, his ^[a]sense is lacking and he ^[b](B)demonstrates to everyone that he is a fool. ⁴ If the ruler’s ^[c]temper rises against you, ^(C)do not abandon your position, because ^(D)composure allays great offenses.
