Ecclesiastes 10:19

The Burden Of Folly

¹⁸ Through slothfulness the balks fall down, and through idle hands it raineth in at the house. ¹⁹ Meat maketh men to laugh, and wine maketh them merry; but unto money are all things obedient. ²⁰ Wish the king no evil in thy thought, and speak no hurt of the rich in thy privy chamber; for a bird of the air shall betray thy voice, and with her feathers shall she betray thy words.
