Ecclesiastes 10:17-19

Amplified Bible

¹⁷ Blessed [prosperous and admired] are you, O land, when your king is a man of noble birth, and your princes and officials feast at the proper time—for strength and not for drunkenness.^{(A) 18} Through laziness the rafters [of state affairs] decay and the roof sags, and through idleness [the roof of] the house leaks. ¹⁹ The officials make a feast for enjoyment [instead of repairing what is broken], and serve wine to make life merry, and money is the answer to everything.
