15
The labor of fools wearies them, For they do not even know how to go to the city!
16
Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, And your princes feast in the morning!
17
Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, And your princes feast at the proper time-- For strength and not for drunkenness!
18
Because of laziness the building decays, And through idleness of hands the house leaks.
19
A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything.
20
Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.
