Ecclesiastes 10:18-20

Authorized (King James) Version

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

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

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.
