Ecclesiastes 10:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ A fool is so upset by a little work that he has no strength for the simplest matter.^[a]

^16-17 Woe to the land whose king is a child and whose leaders are already drunk in the morning. Happy the land whose king is a nobleman and whose leaders work hard before they feast and drink, and then only to strengthen themselves for the tasks ahead!
