Ecclesiastes 10:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in time, for strength and not for drunkenness.

¹⁸ By slothfulness, the roof of the house goes to decay. And by the idleness of the hands, the house drops through.

¹⁹ They prepare bread for laughter. And wine comforts the living. But silver answers all.
