Ecclesiastes 10:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Too bad for you, land,
    whose king is a boy
    and whose princes feast in the morning.
¹⁷ Happy is the land
    whose king is dignified
    and whose princes feast at the right time for energy,
        not for drunkenness.
¹⁸ Through laziness, the roof sags;
    through idle hands, the house leaks.
