If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences.

If the wrath of the ruler is against you, keep in your place; in him who keeps quiet even great sins may be overlooked.

Εαν το πνευμα του ηγεμονος εγερθη εναντιον σου, μη αφησης τον τοπον σου· διοτι η γλυκυτης καταπαυει αμαρτιας μεγαλας.

If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
