Ecclesiastes 10:3-8 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

3. Yea, and the fool when he walketh in the way, whereas be himself is a fool, esteemeth all men fools.

4. If the spirit of him that hath power, ascend upon thee, leave not thy place: because care will make the greatest sins to cease.

5. There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were by an error proceeding from the face of the prince:

6. A fool set in high dignity, and the rich sitting beneath.

7. I have seen servants upon horses: and princes walking on the ground as servants.

8. He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
