Ecclesiastes 10:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of free men,
    and your princes feast at the proper time,
    for strength, and not for drunkenness!
¹⁸ Through sloth the roof sinks in,
    and through indolence the house leaks.
¹⁹ Bread is made for laughter,
    and wine gladdens life,
    and money answers everything.
