Ecclesiastes 10:18-20

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁸ By much slothfulness the building decays, and through idleness of the hands the rain drips throughout the house.

¹⁹ The banquet is made for pleasure, and wine makes merry; but money answers all things.

²⁰ Do not curse the king, not even in thy thought; and do not curse the rich even in the secret place of thy bedchamber; for the birds of the air shall carry the voice, and those who have wings shall tell the matter.
