Ecclesiastes 10:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10

4 Si el espíritu del príncipe se exaltare contra ti, no dejes tu lugar; porque la lenidad hará cesar grandes ofensas.

5 Hay un mal que debajo del sol he visto, á manera de error emanado del príncipe:

6 La necedad está colocada en grandes alturas, y los ricos están sentados en lugar bajo.

7 Vi siervos en caballos, y príncipes que andaban como siervos sobre la tierra.

8 El que hiciere el hoyo caerá en él; y el que aportillare el vallado, morderále la serpiente.
