Ecclesiastes 10:18-20
Christian Standard Bible
18 Because of laziness the roof caves in,
and because of negligent hands the house leaks.
19 A feast is prepared for laughter,
and wine makes life happy,(A)
and money[a] is the answer for everything.(B)
20 Do not curse the king even in your thoughts,(C)
and do not curse a rich person even in your bedroom,(D)
for a bird of the sky may carry the message,
and a winged creature may report the matter.
