Ecclesiastes 10:14-16
Contemporary English Version

14 They never tire of talking,
but none of us really know
    what the future will bring.
15 Fools wear themselves out—
they don't know enough
    to find their way home.[a]

16 A country is in for trouble
    when its ruler is childish,
and its leaders
    party all day long.
