Ecclesiastes 10:17-19
New International Reader's Version

17 How blessed is the land whose king was born into the royal family!
    How blessed if its princes eat and drink at the proper time!
    How blessed if they eat and drink to become strong and not to get drunk!

18 When a person won’t work, the roof falls down.
    Because of hands that aren’t busy, the house leaks.

19 People laugh at a dinner party.
    And wine makes life happy.
    People think money can buy everything.
