Ecclesiastes 10:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 Happy are you, O land, when your king is a nobleman,
and your princes feast at the proper time—
for strength and not for drunkenness!(A)
18 Through sloth the roof sinks in,
and through indolence the house leaks.(B)
19 Feasts are made for laughter,
wine gladdens life,
and money meets every need.(C)
