Ecclesiastes 10:16-20

¹⁶Woe to thee, O lande, when thy King is a childe, and thy princes eate in the morning.

¹⁷Blessed art thou, O land, when thy King is the sonne of nobles, and thy princes eate in time, for strength and not for drunkennesse.

¹⁸By slouthfulnes the roofe of the house goeth to decaie, and by the ydlenesse of the handes the house droppeth through.

¹⁹They prepare bread for laughter, and wine comforteth the liuing, but siluer answereth to all.

²⁰Curse not the King, no not in thy thought, neither curse the rich in thy bed chamber: for the foule of the heauen shall carie the voice, and that which hath wings, shall declare the matter.
