Woe to you, the land whose king is a boy, and whose princes consume in the morning.
Blessed is the land whose king is noble, and whose princes eat at the proper time, for refreshment and not for self-indulgence.
By laziness, a framework shall be brought down, and by the weakness of hands, a house shall collapse through.
While laughing, they make bread and wine, so that the living may feast. And all things are obedient to money.
You should not slander the king, even in your thoughts, and you should not speak evil of a wealthy man, even in your private chamber. For even the birds of the air will carry your voice, and whatever has wings will announce your opinion.
