A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 10 of Ecclesiastes. The words of the wise bring grace, while the words of the fool ultimately destroy him. The fool speaks much about matters he does not understand and exhausts himself trying to explain what he does not know. The section also observes the effects of laziness among rulers and the importance of money in social life. Even within an apparently disordered context, words and decisions continue to produce concrete consequences.

Das macht, sie halten Mahlzeiten, um zu lachen, und der Wein muß die Lebendigen erfreuen, und das Geld muß ihnen alles zuwege bringen.
Por el placer se hace el convite, y el vino alegra los vivos: y el dinero responde a todo.
Para la alegría se prepara el banquete, el vino alegra la vida y el dinero responde a todo.
On fait des repas pour se divertir, le vin rend la vie joyeuse, et l'argent répond à tout.
I conviti si fanno per gioire, e il vino rallegra i viventi; ed i danari rispondono a tutto.
Para rir se fazem banquetes, e o vinho produz alegria, e por tudo o dinheiro responde.
擺設宴席是為歡樂。 酒能使人快活, 錢能叫萬事應心。
