Ecclesiastes 10:17-19

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁷ Blessed are you, O land, whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time—for might and not for ^(A)drinking. ¹⁸ Through ^(B)indolence the beams sag, and through slack hands the house leaks. ¹⁹ Men prepare bread for laughter, and ^(C)wine makes life glad, and ^(D)money ^[a]is the answer to everything.
