Ecclesiastes 10:18-20

21st Century King James Version

¹⁸ By much slothfulness the building decayeth, and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.

¹⁹ A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry; but money answereth all things.

²⁰ Curse not the king, no, not even in thy thoughts, and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber; for a bird of the air shall carry thy voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
