Ecclesiastes 10:18-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 Through sloth the roof sinks in,
and through indolence the house leaks.(A)
19 Feasts are made for laughter,
wine gladdens life,
and money meets every need.(B)
20 Do not curse the king, even in your thoughts,
or curse the rich, even in your bedroom,
for a bird of the air may carry your voice,
or some winged creature tell the matter.(C)
