Ecclesiastes 10:19 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10
17 Heureux toi, pays dont le roi est de race illustre, et dont les princes mangent au temps convenable, pour soutenir leurs forces, et non pour se livrer à la boisson!
18 Quand les mains sont paresseuses, la charpente s’affaisse; et quand les mains sont lâches, la maison a des gouttières.
19 On fait des repas pour se divertir, le vin rend la vie joyeuse, et l’argent répond à tout.
20 Ne maudis pas le roi, même dans ta pensée, et ne maudis pas le riche dans la chambre où tu couches; car l’oiseau du ciel emporterait ta voix, l’animal ailé publierait tes paroles.
