Ecclesiastes 10:15-17
The Message

15 A decent day’s work so fatigues fools
That they can’t find their way back to town.

* * *

16-17 Unlucky the land whose king is a young pup,
And whose princes party all night.
Lucky the land whose king is mature,
Where the princes behave themselves
And don’t drink themselves silly.

* * *
