Strongs On/Off
Context
10:15 The toil of a stupid fool wears him out, because he does not even know the way to the city .
The Problem with Foolish Rulers
10:16 Woe to you, O land , when your king is childish , and your princes feast in the morning !
10:17 Blessed are you, O land , when your king is the son of nobility , and your princes feast at the proper time – with self-control and not in drunkenness .
10:18 Because of laziness the roof caves in , and because of idle hands the house leaks .
10:19 Feasts are made for laughter , and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything .
10:20 Do not curse a king even in your thoughts , and do not curse the rich while in your bedroom ; for a bird might report what you are thinking , or some winged creature might repeat your words .
