Ecclesiastes 10:4-7

If the temper of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your post [showing resistance], because composure and calmness prevent great offenses. There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like an error which proceeds from the ruler— folly is set in many exalted places and in great dignity while the rich sit in humble places. I have seen slaves riding on horses and princes walking like slaves on the ground.
