Ecclesiastes 10:17-19

New Living Translation

¹⁷ Happy is the land whose king is a noble leader
    and whose leaders feast at the proper time
    to gain strength for their work, not to get drunk.

¹⁸ Laziness leads to a sagging roof;
    idleness leads to a leaky house.

¹⁹ A party gives laughter,
    wine gives happiness,
    and money gives everything!
