Ecclesiastes 10:16

The Burden Of Folly

¹⁵ The toil of dullards, shall weary a man, that he knoweth not how to go into the city. ¹⁶ Alas! for thee, O land, when thy king is a boy, - and, thy rulers, in the morning, do eat: ¹⁷ How happy art thou, O land, when thy king is a son of nobles, - and, thy rulers, in season, do eat, for strength, and not for debauchery.
