Ecclesiastes 10:7 Context
5There is an euill which I haue seene vnder the Sunne, as an errour, which proceedeth from the ruler. 6Folly is set in great dignitie; and the rich sit in lowe place. 7I haue seene seruants vpon horses, and princes walking as seruants vpon the earth. 8He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it; and who so breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 9Who so remoueth stones, shall be hurt therewith: and hee that cleaueth wood, shalbe endangered thereby.
