I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

Ecclesiastes 10:7 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Servants upon horses. In the time of Solomon only the privileged rode upon horses or mules (2 Sam. 18:9; 1 Kings 1:38; 2 Chron. 25:28; Esther 6:8; Jer. 17:25); men of lower degree used asses for this purpose. In early Israelite history even kings and princes rode on asses or mules (Judges 5:10; 10:4; cf. 1 Kings 1:33).

Princes walking. That is, men of high rank being treated with indignity.
