Ecclesiastes 10:15-19 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

15. The fool is so worn out by a hard day’s work he cannot even find his way home at night.

16. Woe to you, O land, when your king is a youth and your princes feast in the morning.

17. Blessed are you, O land, when your king is a son of nobility and your princes feast at the proper time— to gain strength and not to get drunk.

18. Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through idleness of hands the house leaks.

19. Feasts are held for celebration, wine cheers the living, and money answers everything.
