In context

¹⁷Blessed are you, O land whose king is a son of nobles, and whose princes feast at the proper time— for strength and not for drunkenness.

¹⁸Through laziness the roof caves in, and in the hands of the idle, the house leaks.

¹⁹A feast is prepared for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything.

²⁰Do not curse the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich even in your bedroom, for a bird of the air may carry your words, and a winged creature may report your speech.
