Ecclesiastes 10:14-17

¹⁴They talk ◄too much/without ceasing►. None of us knows what will happen in the future, or what will happen after we die.

¹⁵Foolish people become so exhausted by the work that they do that they are unable to find the road to their town/homes.

¹⁶Terrible things will happen to the people of a nation whose ruler is a foolish young man, and whose other leaders continually eat, all day long, every day.

¹⁷But a nation will prosper if its ruler is from a ◄noble/well-educated► family, and if its other leaders feast only at the proper times, and if they eat and drink only to be strong, not to become drunk.
