KJV ¹⁶ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!

VULC ¹⁶ [Væ tibi, terra, cujus rex puer est,
et cujus principes mane comedunt.

KJV ¹⁷ Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

VULC ¹⁷ Beata terra cujus rex nobilis est,
et cujus principes vescuntur in tempore suo,
ad reficiendum, et non ad luxuriam.

KJV ¹⁸ By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

VULC ¹⁸ In pigritiis humiliabitur contignatio,
et in infirmitate manuum perstillabit domus.

KJV ¹⁹ A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

VULC ¹⁹ In risum faciunt panem et vinum
ut epulentur viventes ;
et pecuniæ obediunt omnia.

KJV ²⁰ Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

VULC ²⁰ In cogitatione tua regi ne detrahas,
et in secreto cubiculi tui ne maledixeris diviti :
quia et aves cæli portabunt vocem tuam,
et qui habet pennas annuntiabit sententiam.]
