Ecclesiastes 10:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ If a man is too lazy to work on his house,
    its roof will fall down.
    Rain will make his rooms wet.
¹⁹ Good food and wine help us to laugh and to be happy.
    But you need to have money to buy everything.
²⁰ Do not say bad things about the king.
    Do not even think about it!
Even when you are in your bedroom,
    do not say bad things about rich people.
A little bird might hear you.
    It might tell people what you have said.
