Ecclesiastes 10:16-18

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁶ Wo to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a youth, And thy princes do eat in the morning.

¹⁷ Happy art thou, O land, When thy king [is] a son of freemen, And thy princes do eat in due season, For might, and not for drunkenness.

¹⁸ By slothfulness is the wall brought low, And by idleness of the hands doth the house drop.
