The Message

Ecclesiastes 10:18-20 The Message (MSG)

18. A shiftless man lives in a tumbledown shack;A lazy woman ends up with a leaky roof.

19. Laughter and bread go together,And wine gives sparkle to life—But it’s money that makes the world go around.

20. Don’t bad-mouth your leaders, not even under your breath,And don’t abuse your betters, even in the privacy of your home.Loose talk has a way of getting picked up and spread around.Little birds drop the crumbs of your gossip far and wide.
