¹⁶ Woe to you, land whose ^(A)king is a boy, and whose princes ^[a]feast in the morning. ¹⁷ Blessed are you, land whose king is of nobility, and whose princes eat at the appropriate time—for strength and not for ^(B)drunkenness. ¹⁸ Through ^(C)extreme laziness the rafters sag, and through idleness the house leaks. ¹⁹ People prepare a meal for enjoyment, ^(D)wine makes life joyful, and ^(E)money ^[b]is the answer to everything. ²⁰ Furthermore, ^(F)in your bedroom do not ^(G)curse a king, and in your sleeping rooms do not curse a rich person; for a bird of the sky will bring the sound, and the winged one will make your word known.
