5 There is something else ·wrong [evil] that happens ·here on earth [L under the sun; 1:3].
    It is the kind of ·mistake [error] rulers make:
6 Fools are ·given [placed in] important positions
    while ·gifted [L wealthy] people ·are given [L sit in] lower ones;
7 I have seen servants ride horses
    while princes walk like servants on ·foot [L on the ground/earth].

    while princes go on foot like slaves.(B)
