Counsel For Servants of Rulers

Ecclesiastes 10:4-11 
 
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. 
7  I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. 
8  He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 
9  Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby. 
10  If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. 
11  Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
