Ecclesiastes 10:16-19
16How horrible it will be for any country where the king used to be a servant and where the high officials throw parties in the morning.
17A country is blessed when the king is from a noble family and when the high officials eat at the right time in order to get strength and not to get drunk.
18A roof sags because of laziness. A house leaks because of idle hands.
19A meal is made for laughter, and wine makes life pleasant, but money is the answer for everything.
