Ecclesiastes 10:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ Woe to you, O land, when your king is a youth
    and your princes feast in the morning.
¹⁷ Blessed are you, O land, when your king is a son of nobility
    and your princes feast at the proper time—
        to gain strength and not to get drunk.
¹⁸ Through sloth the roof sinks in,
    and through idleness of hands the house leaks.
