Ecclesiastes 10:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² The hearts of wise people lead them on the right path.
    But the hearts of foolish people take them down the wrong path.
³ Foolish people don’t have any sense at all.
    They show everyone they are foolish.
    They do it even when they are walking along the road.
⁴ Suppose a ruler gets very angry with you.
    If he does, don’t quit your job in the palace.
    Being calm can overcome what you have done against him.
