Ecclesiastes 10:4-6
Authorized (King James) Version
4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place;
for yielding pacifieth great offences.
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun,
as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
6 folly is set in great dignity,
and the rich sit in low place.

4 If a ruler’s anger rises against you,
do not leave your post;(A)
calmness can lay great offenses to rest.(B)
