Ecclesiastes 10:15-17 Good News Bible (GNB)

15. Only someone too stupid to find his way home would wear himself out with work.

16. A country is in trouble when its king is a youth and its leaders feast all night long.

17. But a country is fortunate to have a king who makes his own decisions and leaders who eat at the proper time, who control themselves and don't get drunk.
