Holy Scripture
Ecclesiastes 10:15
A church father on this verse
“By "town" he does not mean a place but the deed according to the law. The fool does "not even know the way to town." But the one who says, "Even if we live on earth, our citizenship is in heaven," "knows the way to the town" in which he is a true citizen. And further: "As we have heard, so we have received in the city…”

In context
13The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly: And the end of his talk mischievous madness.
14A fool moreover multiplies words: Man knows not what has been, nor what will be: Who shall tell him what will come after him?
— Ecclesiastes 10:15 —
16Woe to thee, O city, whose king is young, And thy princes eat in the morning!
17Blessed art thou, O land, whose king is a son of nobles, And whose princes shall eat seasonably, for strength, And shall not be ashamed.
