Ecclesiastes 10:18-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Through sloth the roof sinks in,
    and through indolence the house leaks.
¹⁹ Bread is made for laughter,
    and wine gladdens life,
    and money answers everything.
²⁰ Even in your thought, do not curse the king,
    nor in your bedchamber curse the rich;
for a bird of the air will carry your voice,
    or some winged creature tell the matter.
