16WoeH337 to thee, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is a childH5288, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in the morningH1242! 17HappyH835 art thou, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is the sonH1121 of noblesH2715, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in due seasonH6256, for strengthH1369, and notH3808 for drunkennessH8358! 18By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and throughH3027 idleness of the handsH3027 the houseH1004 leaketh. 19A feast is madeH6213 for laughterH7814, and wineH3196 maketh gladH8055 the lifeH2416: and moneyH3701 answereth allH3605 things. 20CurseH7043 notH408 the kingH4428, noH408, notH408 in thy thoughtH1697; and curseH7043 notH408 the richH6223 in thy bedchamberH4093: for a birdH5775 of the air shall carry the voiceH6963, and that whichH1697 hath wingsH3671 shall tellH5046 the matterH1697.
