Ecclesiastes 10:4-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ If the ruler’s ^[a]temper rises against you, ^(A)do not abandon your position, because ^(B)composure allays great offenses.

⁵ There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like an error which goes forth from the ruler— ^6 (C)folly is set in many exalted places while rich men sit in humble places.
