Ecclesiastes 10:17-19

New American Standard Bible

¹⁷ Blessed are you, land whose king is of nobility, and whose princes eat at the appropriate time—for strength and not for ^(A)drunkenness. ¹⁸ Through ^(B)extreme laziness the rafters sag, and through idleness the house leaks. ¹⁹ People prepare a meal for enjoyment, ^(C)wine makes life joyful, and ^(D)money ^[a]is the answer to everything.
