Ecclesiastes 10:16-18

World English Bible

¹⁶ Woe to you, land, when your king is a child,
    and your princes eat in the morning!
¹⁷ Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles,
    and your princes eat in due season,
    for strength, and not for drunkenness!
¹⁸ By slothfulness the roof sinks in;
    and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
