Ecclesiastes 10:16-18

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁶ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child,
and thy princes eat in the morning!
¹⁷ Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles,
and thy princes eat in due season,
for strength, and not for drunkenness!

¹⁸ By much slothfulness the building decayeth;
and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
