Ecclesiastes 10:17

17 Blessed are you, land, when your king is a son of nobles and your princes feast at the proper time- for strength and not for drunkenness.

Ecclesiastes 10:17 In-Context

15 The struggles of fools weary them, for they don't know how to go to the city.
16 Woe to you, land, when your king is a household servant, and your princes feast in the morning.
17 Blessed are you, land, when your king is a son of nobles and your princes feast at the proper time- for strength and not for drunkenness.
18 Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of negligent hands the house leaks.
19 A feast is prepared for laughter, and wine makes life happy, and money is the answer for everything.
