Ecclesiastes 10:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶     Woe to the land whose king is a child
        and whose princes start their feast in the morning.
¹⁷     Blessed is the land whose king is of noble heritage
        and whose princes know when to feast,
    Who discipline themselves with strength and avoid drunkenness.
¹⁸     The roof sags over the head of lazybones;
        the house leaks because of idle hands.
