Ecclesiastes 10:16-18

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁶ Woe to you, O land, whose ^(A)king is a young man and whose princes ^[a]eat in the morning. ¹⁷ Blessed are you, O land, whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time—for might and not for ^(B)drinking. ¹⁸ Through ^(C)indolence the beams sag, and through slack hands the house leaks.
