Ecclesiastes 10:4-6

Young's Literal Translation

⁴ If the spirit of the ruler go up against thee, Thy place leave not, For yielding quieteth great sinners.

⁵ There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error that goeth out from the ruler,

⁶ He hath set the fool in many high places, And the rich in a low place do sit.
