Ecclesiastes 10:4
Berean Standard Bible
If the ruler’s temper flares against you, do not abandon your post, for calmness lays great offenses to rest.
Context
2A wise man’s heart inclines to the right,
but the heart of a fool to the left. 3Even as the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking,
and he shows everyone that he is a fool. 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.
