Ecclesiastes 10:17-20

¹⁷Blessed is the land, whose king is noble; and whose princes eat in their time, to sustain their kind, and not to lechery.

¹⁸The highness of houses shall be made low in sloths; and the house shall drop rain in the feebleness of hands.

¹⁹In laughing, they dispose bread and wine, that they drinking eat largely; and all things obey to money.

²⁰In thy thought backbite thou not the king, and in the private of thy bed, curse thou not a rich man; for the birds of heaven shall bear thy voice, and he that hath pens or wings, shall tell the sentence.
