17 Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles,and your princes eat in due season,for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18 By slothfulness the roof sinks in;and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
19 A feast is made for laughter,and wine makes the life glad;and money is the answer for all things.
20 Don’t curse the king, no, not in your thoughts;and don’t curse the rich in your bedroom:for a bird of the sky may carry your voice,and that which has wings may tell the matter.
