Ecclesiastes 10:4 in English
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
2Moyo wa mwenye hekima huelekea kuume,
lakini moyo wa mpumbavu huelekea kushoto. 3Hata anapotembea barabarani,
mpumbavu hukosa ufahamu
na kudhihirisha kwa kila mmoja
jinsi alivyo mpumbavu. 4Kama hasira ya mtawala ikiwaka dhidi yako,
usiache mahali pako,
utulivu huweza kuzuia makosa mengi. 5Kuna ubaya niliouona chini ya jua,
aina ya kosa litokalo kwa mtawala: 6Wapumbavu kuwekwa kwenye nafasi nyingi za juu,
wakati matajiri hushika nafasi za chini.
