Ecclesiastes 10:4

4 If the ruler's anger rises against you, don't leave your place, for calmness puts great offenses to rest.

Ecclesiastes 10:4 In-Context

2 A wise man's heart [goes] to the right, but a fool's heart to the left.
3 Even when the fool walks along the road, his heart lacks sense, and he shows everyone he is a fool.
4 If the ruler's anger rises against you, don't leave your place, for calmness puts great offenses to rest.
5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, an error proceeding from the presence of the ruler:
6 The fool is appointed to great heights, but the rich remain in lowly positions.
