Ecclesiastes 10:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ By slothfulness, the roof of the house goes to decay. And by the idleness of the hands, the house drops through.

¹⁹ They prepare bread for laughter. And wine comforts the living. But silver answers all.

²⁰ Do not curse the king (even in your thought) or curse the rich (even in your bed chamber). For the bird of the heaven shall carry the voice. And that which has wings shall tell the matter.
