Ecclesiastes 10:16-20

Governance, Sloth, and Stability

Ecclesiastes 10:16-20
16
Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
17
Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18
By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.
19
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh glad the life; and money answereth all things.
20
Revile not the king, no, not in thy thought; and revile not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the heavens shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
