Ecclesiastes 10:4-6 - Heartlight

⁴If the ruler’s temper flares against you, do not abandon your post,

for calmness lays great offenses to rest.

⁵There is an evil I have seen under the sun —

an error that proceeds from the ruler:

⁶Folly is appointed to great heights,

but the rich sit in lowly positions.
