2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.
3 Even when the fool walks by the way, he lacks prudence, and he says unto every one that he is a fool.
4 If the spirit of the ruler rises up against thee, do not leave thy place; for meekness pacifies great sins.
5 There is another evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceeds from the ruler:
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich are seated in a low place.
7 I saw slaves upon horses, and princes walking as slaves upon the earth.
8 He that digs a pit shall fall into it, and whosoever breaks a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
