Ecclesiastes 10:18


Ecclesiastes 10:17 Ecclesiastes 10:18 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 10:19
Blessed [art] thou, O land, when thy king [is] the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all [things].
