Ecclesiastes 7:7

7. Oppression maketh… mad The matter of reproof is continued. It is shown how one may be overtaken in a fault and need a wise friend’s monition. Under the irritation of bad government to which Koheleth often alludes a good man might be rasped into rash doings, or might himself consent to take a bribe to misuse power which might be put into his own hands. The worst evil of misgovernment, as Socrates said, is that it makes good men bad.
