Ecclesiastes 10:14-17

Living Bible

¹⁴ A fool knows all about the future and tells everyone in detail! But who can really know what is going to happen? ¹⁵ A fool is so upset by a little work that he has no strength for the simplest matter.^[a]

^16-17 Woe to the land whose king is a child and whose leaders are already drunk in the morning. Happy the land whose king is a nobleman and whose leaders work hard before they feast and drink, and then only to strengthen themselves for the tasks ahead!
