Ecclesiastes 10:17-19

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁷Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles,
and thy princes eat in due season,
for strength, and not for drunkenness!

¹⁸By much slothfulness the building decayeth;
and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

¹⁹A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry:
but money answereth all things.
