Ecclesiastes 10:19

The Burden Of Folly

¹⁸ By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks. ¹⁹ A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things. ²⁰ Do not curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and do not curse the rich in your bedchamber: for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.
