Ecclesiastes 10:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸     The roof sags over the head of lazybones;
        the house leaks because of idle hands.
¹⁹     Feasts are happy occasions;
        wine brings joy to life;
        money is the answer for everything.
²⁰     Don’t curse the king in your thoughts
        or demean the rich even in private.
    If you do, a little bird or other winged creature overhead might overhear
        and wing your words and report what you said to those in power.
