Ecclesiastes 10:15-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

15. The labor of the foolish wearies every one of them, because he knows not how to go to the city.

16. Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your princes feast in the morning!

17. Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes feast at the proper time, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

18. By much slothfulness the building decays; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.

19. A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry: but money answers all things.

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