Ecclesiastes 10:14-19

¹⁴A fool moreover multiplies words: man knows not what has been, nor what will be: who shall tell him what will come after him?

¹⁵The labor of fools will afflict them, as that of one who knows not to go to the city.

¹⁶Woe to you, O city, whose king is young, and your princes eat in the morning!

¹⁷Blessed are you, O land, whose king is a son of nobles, and whose princes shall eat seasonably, for strength, and shall not be ashamed.

¹⁸By slothful neglect a building will be brought low: and by idleness of the hands the house will fall to pieces.

¹⁹Men prepare bread for laughter, and wine and oil that the living should rejoice: but to money all things will humbly yield obedience.
