Ecclesiastes 10:19

The Burden Of Folly

¹⁸ By two lazy arms, the framework sinketh in, - and, by the hanging down of the hands, the house may leak. ¹⁹ Merrily people make bread, and, wine, gladdeneth life, - but, money, answereth all things. ²⁰ Even in thy thought, do not revile, the king, nor, within thy bed-chambers, revile thou the rich, - for, a bird of the heavens, might carry the voice, yea, an owner of wings, might tell the matter.
