NASB
"If the ruler's temper rises against you, do not abandon your position, because composure allays great offenses."
— Ecclesiastes 10:4, NASB
“If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.”
“If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences. ”
“If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don't leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.”
“If the anger of the ruler flares up against you, do not resign from your position, for a calm response can undo great offenses.”
“If the spirit of him that hath power, ascend upon thee, leave not thy place: because care will make the greatest sins to cease.”
“If the wrath of the ruler is against you, keep in your place; in him who keeps quiet even great sins may be overlooked.”
Dead flies make a perfumer's oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom and honor.
A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man's heart directs him toward the left.
Even when the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking and he demonstrates to everyone that he is a fool.
If the ruler's temper rises against you, do not abandon your position, because composure allays great offenses.
There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like an error which goes forth from the ruler--
folly is set in many exalted places while rich men sit in humble places.
I have seen slaves riding on horses and princes walking like slaves on the land.
