Ecclesiastes 10:14-16

New International Reader's Version

No one knows what lies ahead.
    Who can tell someone else what will happen after they are gone?

¹⁵ The work foolish people do makes them tired.
    They don’t even know the way to town.

¹⁶ How terrible it is for a land whose king used to be a servant!
    How terrible if its princes get drunk in the morning!
