Ecclesiastes 10:19

The Burden Of Folly

¹⁸ By slothfulness is the wall brought low, And by idleness of the hands doth the house drop. ¹⁹ For mirth they are making a feast, And wine maketh life joyful, And the silver answereth with all. ²⁰ Even in thy mind a king revile not, And in the inner parts of thy bed-chamber Revile not the rich: For a fowl of the heavens causeth the voice to go, And a possessor of wings declareth the word.
