“Woe to you, O land whose king is a youth, and whose princes feast in the morning.”
Ecclesiastes 10:16 (BSB)
Context Reading
14Yet the fool multiplies words. No one knows what is coming, and who can tell him what will come after him? 15The toil of a fool wearies him, for he does not know the way to the city. 16Woe to you, O land whose king is a youth, and whose princes feast in the morning. 17Blessed are you, O land whose king is a son of nobles, and whose princes feast at the proper time — for strength and not for drunkenness. 18Through laziness the roof caves in, and in the hands of the idle, the house leaks.
