Ecclesiastes 10:16-19
16Woe to you, O land, when your king is childish, and your princes feast in the morning!
17Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobility, and your princes feast at the proper time – with self-control and not in drunkenness.
18Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of idle hands the house leaks.
19Feasts are made for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything.
