Ecclesiastes 10:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ ¶ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes banquet 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 decays, and through idleness of the hands the rain drips throughout the house.
