Ecclesiastes 10:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ A fool quickly gets worn out by his labor,
    and he cannot even find his own way into town.^[a]
16 Woe to you, O country, when your king is a servant
    and your princes start feasting in the morning.
¹⁷ Blessed are you, O land,
    when your king is a nobleman
and your princes feast at the proper time
    for strength and not for drunkenness.
