Ecclesiastes 10:4-7 King James Version (KJV)

If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences. There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

Ecclesiastes 10:4-7 The Message (MSG)

If a ruler loses his temper against you, don’t panic; A calm disposition quiets intemperate rage. * * * Here’s a piece of bad business I’ve seen on this earth, An error that can be blamed on whoever is in charge: Immaturity is given a place of prominence, While maturity is made to take a backseat. I’ve seen unproven upstarts riding in style, While experienced veterans are put out to pasture. * * *

If the ruler’s temper rises against you, do not abandon your position, because composure allays great offenses.

I have seen slaves riding on horses and princes walking like slaves on the land.

Ecclesiastes 10:4-7 New Century Version (NCV)

Don’t leave your job just because your boss is angry with you. Remaining calm solves great problems. There is something else wrong that happens here on earth.

I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking like servants upon the earth.

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

If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, Do not leave your post; For conciliation pacifies great offenses.

I have seen servants on horses, While princes walk on the ground like servants.

If your boss is angry at you, don’t quit! A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes. There is another evil I have seen under the sun.

I have even seen servants riding horseback like princes—and princes walking like servants!
