Ecclesiastes 10:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ Work wears fools out;
    they don’t even know how to get home.

¹⁶ How terrible it is for a country whose king is a child
    and whose leaders eat all morning.
¹⁷ How lucky a country is whose king comes from a good family,
    whose leaders eat only at mealtime
    and for strength, not to get drunk.
