Ecclesiastes 10:13-19

¹³The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the last that cometh out of his mouth is evil-bringing madness.

¹⁴The fool also multiplieth words; but a man cannot know what is to be; and what is to be after him, who can tell him?

¹⁵The toil of the foolish will weary every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.—

¹⁶Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is lowminded, and when thy princes eat in the morning!

¹⁷Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is noble-spirited, and thy princes eat in proper time, for strengthening, and not for gluttony!—

¹⁸Through slothful hands the rafters will sink; and through idleness of the hands the house will become leaky.

¹⁹For gay pleasure they prepare a feast, and wine is to make the living joyful; but money procureth all things.
