Ecclesiastes 10:15-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. The hardship of the foolish will afflict those who do not know to go into the city.

16. Woe to you, the land whose king is a boy, and whose princes consume in the morning.

17. Blessed is the land whose king is noble, and whose princes eat at the proper time, for refreshment and not for self-indulgence.

18. By laziness, a framework shall be brought down, and by the weakness of hands, a house shall collapse through.

19. While laughing, they make bread and wine, so that the living may feast. And all things are obedient to money.
