NASB
"Through indolence the rafters sag, and through slackness the house leaks."
— Ecclesiastes 10:18, NASB
“By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.”
“By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh. ”
“By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.”
“Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of idle hands the house leaks.”
“By slothfulness a building shall be brought down, and through the weakness of hands, the house shall drop through.”
“When no work is done the roof goes in, and when the hands do nothing water comes into the house.”
“By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.”
The toil of a fool so wearies him that he does not even know how to go to a city.
Woe to you, O land, whose king is a lad and whose princes feast in the morning.
Blessed are you, O land, whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time--for strength and not for drunkenness.
Through indolence the rafters sag, and through slackness the house leaks.
Men prepare a meal for enjoyment, and wine makes life merry, and money is the answer to everything.
Furthermore, in your bedchamber do not curse a king, and in your sleeping rooms do not curse a rich man, for a bird of the heavens will carry the sound and the winged creature will make the matter known.
