¹⁶ A country is in terrible trouble
    if its ruler is young and foolish.
If its leaders go to parties all day,
    a country is in trouble.
¹⁷ But if a country's ruler belongs to a good family,
    that country will be a happy place.
Its leaders only enjoy parties at the proper time.
    They control themselves and they do not become drunk.
¹⁸ If a man is too lazy to work on his house,
    its roof will fall down.
    Rain will make his rooms wet.
