17 Blessed is the land whose king is of noble birth
and whose princes eat at a proper time—
for strength and not for drunkenness.(A)
18 Through laziness, the rafters sag;
because of idle hands, the house leaks.(B)
19 A feast is made for laughter,
wine(C) makes life merry,
and money is the answer for everything.
