16Alas for you, O land, when your king is a servant, and your princes feast in the morning! 17Happy are you, O land, when your king is a nobleman, and your princes feast at the proper time— for strength, and not for drunkenness! 18Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through indolence the house leaks. 19Feasts are made for laughter; wine gladdens life, and money meets every need.
