Ecclesiastes 10:15-20

  1. The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.

  2. Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!

  3. Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

  4. By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

  5. A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

  6. Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
