Ecclesiastes 10:4-6
New Life Version
4 If the ruler becomes angry with you, do not back away. If you are quiet, much wrong-doing may be put aside.
5 There is a sin I have seen under the sun, like a mistake done by a ruler: 6 Fools are put in many places of honor, while rich men sit in places that are not important.

New International Version
4 If a ruler’s anger rises against you,
do not leave your post;(A)
calmness can lay great offenses to rest.(B)
