Ecclesiastes 10:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Here’s another tragedy that I’ve observed on earth,
    a kind of error that comes from an overseer:
⁶ Foolishness is given great honor,
    while the prosperous sit in lowly places.^[a]
7 And I have observed servants riding^[b] on horses,
    while princes walk on the ground like servants.
