Ecclesiastes 10:15 Context
13The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishnesse: and the end of his talke is mischieuous madnesse. 14A foole also is full of words; a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall bee after him who can tell him? 15The labour of the foolish wearyeth euery one of them; because hee knoweth not how to goe to the citie. 16¶ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, 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 due season, for strength, and not for drunkennesse.
