'Leaks' in the Bible

But 23 years into the reign of King Jehoash, the priests still had not repaired the leaks in the Temple.

So King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, along with other priests, and asked them, "Why haven't you fixed the leaks in the Temple? Stop receiving donations from your acquaintances for repairing the leaks in the Temple."

So the priests agreed to receive no more cash from the people, but they didn't repair the leaks in the Temple, either.

Through slothfulness the roof deteriorates, and a house leaks because of idleness.
