Ecclesiastes 10:17-19
Lexham English Bible
17 Blessed are you, O land, when your king is a son of nobility
and your princes feast at the proper time—
to gain strength and not to get drunk.
18 Through sloth the roof sinks in,
and through idleness of hands the house leaks.
19 Feasts are held for celebration,[a]
wine cheers the living,
and money answers everything.
