Ecclesiastes 10:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ The work foolish people do makes them tired.
    They don’t even know the way to town.

¹⁶ How terrible it is for a land whose king used to be a servant!
    How terrible if its princes get drunk in the morning!
¹⁷ How blessed is the land whose king was born into the royal family!
    How blessed if its princes eat and drink at the proper time!
    How blessed if they eat and drink to become strong and not to get drunk!
