Ecclesiastes 10:16-18
American Standard Version
16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a [a]child, and thy princes eat in the morning! 17 Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is [b]the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! 18 By slothfulness the [c]roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.
