17 Happy is the land whose king is a noble leaderand whose leaders feast at the proper timeto gain strength for their work, not to get drunk.
18 Laziness leads to a sagging roof;idleness leads to a leaky house.
19 A party gives laughter,wine gives happiness,and money gives everything!
20 Never make light of the king, even in your thoughts.And don’t make fun of the powerful, even in your own bedroom.For a little bird might deliver your messageand tell them what you said.
