Ecclesiastes 10:16
World English Bible (WEB)
Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
In context
14 A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?
15 The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city.
16 Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
17 Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18 By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
