Ecclesiastes 10:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ Through slothfulness the roof deteriorates,
    and a house leaks because of idleness.

¹⁹ Festivals are for laughter,
    wine makes life pleasant,
        and money speaks to everything.

²⁰ Do not curse the king,
    even in your thoughts.
Do not curse the rich,
    even in your bedroom.
For a bird will fly by and tell what you say,
    or something with wings may talk about it.
