Ecclesiastes 10:6

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Folly is appointed to great heights, but the rich sit in lowly positions.

In context

4 If the ruler’s temper flares against you, do not abandon your post, for calmness lays great offenses to rest.

5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun— an error that proceeds from the ruler:

6 Folly is appointed to great heights, but the rich sit in lowly positions.

7 I have seen slaves on horseback, while princes go on foot like slaves.

8 He who digs a pit may fall into it, and he who breaches a wall may be bitten by a snake.
