Ecclesiastes 10:16-19
View Full Chapter
16Woe to the land whose king was a servant Or king is a child and whose princes feast in the morning.
17Blessed is the land whose king is of noble birth and whose princes eat at a proper time— for strength and not for drunkenness.
18Through laziness, the rafters sag; because of idle hands, the house leaks.
19A feast is made for laughter, wine makes life merry, and money is the answer for everything.
