Ecclesiastes 10:16-20
16
Woe to thee, O lande, when thy King is a childe, and thy princes eate in the morning.
17

18

19
They prepare bread for laughter, and wine comforteth the liuing, but siluer answereth to all.
20
Curse not the King, no not in thy thought, neither curse the rich in thy bed chamber: for the foule of the heauen shall carie the voice, and that which hath wings, shall declare the matter.
