Ecclesiastes 10:16-20

Woe
<0337>
to thee, O land
<0776>_,
when thy king
<04428>
[is] a child
<05288>_,
and thy princes
<08269>
eat
<0398> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_!
Blessed
<0835>
[art] thou, O land
<0776>_,
when thy king
<04428>
[is] the son
<01121>
of nobles
<02715>_,
and thy princes
<08269>
eat
<0398> (8799)
in due season
<06256>_,
for strength
<01369>_,
and not for drunkenness
<08358>_!
By much slothfulness
<06103>
the building
<04746>
decayeth
<04355> (8735)_;
and through idleness
<08220>
of the hands
<03027>
the house
<01004>
droppeth through
<01811> (8799)_.
A feast
<03899>
is made
<06213> (8802)
for laughter
<07814>_,
and wine
<03196>
maketh merry
<08055> (8762) <02416>_:
but money
<03701>
answereth
<06030> (8799)
all [things]. {maketh...: Heb. maketh glad the life}
Curse
<07043> (8762)
not the king
<04428>_,
no not in thy thought
<04093>_;
and curse
<07043> (8762)
not the rich
<06223>
in thy bedchamber
<02315> <04904>_:
for a bird
<05775>
of the air
<08064>
shall carry
<03212> (8686)
the voice
<06963>_,
and that which hath
<01167>
wings
<03671>
shall tell
<05046> (8686)
the matter
<01697>_.
{thought: or, conscience}
