Fools are placed in many high positions, while the rich sit in low ones.
Some time later King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, son of Hammedatha the Agagite, elevating him and setting his chair above all the officials who were with him.
When Haman saw that Mordecai was not bowing down or paying him honor, Haman was filled with rage.
You will keep us safe, Adonai. You will protect us from this generation forever.
Luxury is not fitting for a fool— how much less for a servant to rule over princes!
When the righteous triumph there is great glory, but when the wicked rise to power, people hide.
When the wicked rise to power, people hide, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
When the righteous thrive, people rejoice. When the wicked rule, people groan.
There is a wrong I have seen under the sun like an error proceeding from a ruler.
