Governance, Sloth, and Stability
Ecclesiastes 10:16-20
16
Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your leaders start their parties in the morning!
17
Happy are you, land, when your king is well-born, and your princes eat at the proper time, in order to stay strong, not to get drunk!
18
When the owner is lazy, the roof sags; when hands are idle, the house leaks.
19
Parties are made for having a good time, wine adds cheer to life, and money has an answer for everything.
20
Don't insult the king, not even in your thoughts; and don't insult the wealthy, not even in your bedroom; for a bird in the air might carry the news, a creature with wings might repeat what you said.
