Ecclesiastes 10:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ Only someone too stupid to find his way home would wear himself out with work.

¹⁶ A country is in trouble when its king is a youth and its leaders feast all night long. ¹⁷ But a country is fortunate to have a king who makes his own decisions and leaders who eat at the proper time, who control themselves and don't get drunk.
