Ecclesiastes 10:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 By slothfulness the roof of the house goeth to decay, and by the idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
19 They prepare bread for laughter, and wine comforteth the living, but silver answereth to all.
20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought, neither curse the rich in thy bed chamber: for the [a]fowl of the heaven shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings, shall declare the matter.
