Ecclesiastes 10:16-20

16Woe to thee, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is a child, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in the morningH1242! 17Happy art thou, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is the sonH1121 of nobles, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in due season, for strengthH1369, and not for drunkenness! 18By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the handsH3027 the houseH1004 leaketh. 19A feast is madeH6213 for laughterH7814, and wineH3196 maketh gladH8055 the lifeH2416; and moneyH3701 answereth all things. 20Revile not the kingH4428, no, not in thy thought; and revile not the richH6223 in thy bedchamber: for a birdH5775 of the heavensH8064 shall carry the voiceH6963, and that which hath wingsH3671 shall tellH5046 the matterH1697.
