Ecclesiastes 10:19

The Burden Of Folly

¹⁸ By much sloth fulness the framework falleth in; and through idleness of the hands the house drippeth. ¹⁹ A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh life merry; but money answereth everything. ²⁰ Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for the bird of the air will carry the voice, and that which hath wings will tell the matter.
