14The foolish are full of words; man has no knowledge of what will be; and who is able to say what will be after him?
15The work of the foolish will be a weariness to him, because he has no knowledge of the way to the town.
16Unhappy is the land whose king is a boy, and whose rulers are feasting in the morning.
17Happy is the land whose ruler is of noble birth, and whose chiefs take food at the right time, for strength and not for feasting.
18When no work is done the roof goes in, and when the hands do nothing water comes into the house.
19A feast is for laughing, and wine makes glad the heart; but by the one and the other money is wasted.
20Say not a curse against the king, even in your thoughts; and even secretly say not a curse against the man of wealth; because a bird of the air will take the voice, and that which has wings will give news of it.
