Ecclesiastes 10:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ But if a country's ruler belongs to a good family,
    that country will be a happy place.
Its leaders only enjoy parties at the proper time.
    They control themselves and they do not become drunk.
¹⁸ If a man is too lazy to work on his house,
    its roof will fall down.
    Rain will make his rooms wet.
¹⁹ Good food and wine help us to laugh and to be happy.
    But you need to have money to buy everything.
