In context

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.
