Ecclesiastes 10:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10
4 Se o espírito de um chefe se levantar contra ti, não deixes teu lugar, porque a calma aquieta grandes ofensas.
5 Há um mal que vi abaixo do sol, um [tipo de] erro que é proveniente dos que têm autoridade:
6 Põem o tolo em cargos elevados, mas os ricos sentam em lugares baixos.
7 Vi servos a cavalo, e príncipes que andavam [a pé] como [se fossem] servos sobre a terra.
8 Quem cavar uma cova, nela cairá; e quem romper um muro, uma cobra o morderá.
