ECCLESIASTES 10:13-19

¹³The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

¹⁴A fool also multiplieth words: yet man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?

¹⁵The labour of fools wearieth every one of them, for he knoweth not how to go to the city.

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

¹⁷Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

¹⁸By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.

¹⁹A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh glad the life: and money answereth all things.
