Ecclesiastes 10:17


Ecclesiastes 10:16 Ecclesiastes 10:17 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 10:18
Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
Blessed [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!
By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
