Ecclesiastes 10:17-19

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁷ Blessed 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!

¹⁸ By much slothfulness the building decays, and through idleness of the hands the rain drips throughout the house.

¹⁹ The banquet is made for pleasure, and wine makes merry; but money answers all things.
