New King James Version
Ecclesiastes 10:16-20
16Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, And your princes feast in the morning!
17Blessed 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!
18Because of laziness the building decays, And through idleness of hands the house leaks.
19A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything.
20Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.
