Ecclesiastes 10:18-20
New International Reader's Version
18 When a person won’t work, the roof falls down.
Because of hands that aren’t busy, the house leaks.
19 People laugh at a dinner party.
And wine makes life happy.
People think money can buy everything.
20 Don’t say bad things about the king.
Don’t even think about those things.
Don’t curse rich people.
Don’t even curse them in your bedroom.
A bird might fly away and carry your words.
It might report what you said.
