Ecclesiastes 10:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ How blessed you are, O land, when your king is a son of nobles, and your officials eat at the right time—to get stronger, not to get drunk.

¹⁸ Because of laziness, roof beams sag. Because of idle hands, the house leaks.

¹⁹ Food is made for pleasure. Wine makes life happy, but money is the answer for everything.
