Ecclesiastes 10:4

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

A ruler can be persuaded through patience,
and a gentle tongue can break a bone.

Do not be in a hurry; leave his presence, and don’t persist in a bad cause, since he will do whatever he wants.

She fell at his feet and said, “The guilt is mine, my lord, but please let your servant speak to you directly. Listen to the words of your servant.
