“A feast is prepared for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything.”
Ecclesiastes 10:19 (BSB)
Context Reading
17Blessed are you, O land whose king is a son of nobles, and whose princes feast at the proper time — for strength and not for drunkenness. 18Through laziness the roof caves in, and in the hands of the idle, the house leaks. 19A feast is prepared for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything. 20Do not curse the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich even in your bedroom, for a bird of the air may carry your words, and a winged creature may report your speech.
