Ecclesiastes 10:18-20

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ Because of laziness, roof beams sag. Because of idle hands, the house leaks.

¹⁹ Food is made for pleasure. Wine makes life happy, but money is the answer for everything.

²⁰ Do not curse the king even in your thoughts, and do not curse a rich person in your bedroom, for a bird in the skies might carry your voice, or a bird in flight might reveal the matter.
