Ecclesiastes 10:19 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10
17 Bem-aventurada é tu, ó terra, cujo rei é filho de nobres, e cujos príncipes comem no tempo [devido] , para se fortalecerem, e não para se embebedarem!
18 Pela muita preguiça o teto se deteriora; e pala frouxidão das mãos a casa tem goteiras.
19 Para rir se fazem banquetes, e o vinho alegra aos vivos; mas o dinheiro responde por tudo.
20 Nem mesmo em pensamento amaldiçoes ao rei, nem também no interior de teu quarto amaldiçoes ao rico, porque as aves dos céus levam o que foi falado, e os que tem asas contam o que foi dito.
