Ecclesiastes 10:6
Berean Standard Bible
Folly is appointed to great heights, but the rich sit in lowly positions.
Context
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. 7I have seen slaves on horseback,
while princes go on foot like slaves. 8He who digs a pit may fall into it,
and he who breaches a wall may be bitten by a snake.
