Ecclesiastes 10:15-17

New Living Translation

¹⁵ Fools are so exhausted by a little work
    that they can’t even find their way home.

¹⁶ What sorrow for the land ruled by a servant,^[a]
    the land whose leaders feast in the morning.
¹⁷ Happy is the land whose king is a noble leader
    and whose leaders feast at the proper time
    to gain strength for their work, not to get drunk.
