16 Woe to you, O land whose king is a youth, and whose princes feast in the morning. 17 Blessed are you, O land whose king is a son of nobles, and whose princes feast at the proper time—for strength and not for drunkenness. 18 Through laziness the roof caves in, and in the hands of the idle, the house leaks. 19 A feast is prepared for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything. 20 Do not curse the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich even in your bedroom, for a bird of the air may carry your words, and a winged creature may report your speech.
