Ecclesiastes 10:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ When you are too lazy to repair your roof, it will leak, and the house will fall in.

¹⁹ Feasting makes you happy and wine cheers you up, but you can't have either without money.

²⁰ Don't criticize the king, even silently, and don't criticize the rich, even in the privacy of your bedroom. A bird might carry the message and tell them what you said.
