Ecclesiastes 10:16-18
Tree of Life Version
16 Oy to you, O land, when your king is a youth[a]
and your princes feast in the morning.
17 Happy are you, O land, when your king is a son of nobles,
and your princes eat at the proper time—
in self-control and not in drunkenness!
18 By laziness the rafters sag,
and by idle hands the house leaks.

because of idle hands, the house leaks.(C)
