Ecclesiastes 10:16-18
Jubilee Bible 2000
16 ¶ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes banquet in the morning!
17 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18 By much slothfulness the building decays, and through idleness of the hands the rain drips throughout the house.
