Ecclesiastes 10:16

Ecclesiastes 10:16 (WEB)

Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!

Fathers and councils · 3

Basil the Great

  • “This however is only in accordance with the wisdom of the Preacher, “Woe to thee O land when thy King is a child;” (a still further touch of trouble) and whose “Princes” do not “eat” after night but revel at mid-day, raging after other men’s wives with less understanding than brute beasts.” — editor's note: Eccles. x. 16.
