Ecclesiastes 10:19 "A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry; but money answers everything"

Question

BEST BIBLE VERSE EVER OR WHAT!!! lol????

Answer 1

RIGHT ON!

Answer 2

Can Riches Make You Happy?

King Solomon knew the value of money. He wrote: “Bread is for the laughter of the workers, and wine itself makes life rejoice; but money is what meets a response in all things.” (Ecclesiastes 10:19) Dining with friends can be most enjoyable, but to obtain bread or wine, you need money. Since money is the means by which material things are obtained, it “meets a response in all things.”

THOUGH Solomon was fabulously wealthy, he knew that riches have their limitations. He recognized that a materialistic way of life does not unlock the door to happiness. He wrote: “A mere lover of silver will not be satisfied with silver, neither any lover of wealth with income.”—Ecclesiastes 5:10.

Suppose a wealthy person obtains even greater wealth. Solomon says: “When good things become many, those eating them certainly become many.” (Ecclesiastes 5:11) As a person’s “good things,” or possessions, increase, more people are needed to care for them. Repairmen, caretakers, servants, security people, and others—all must be paid for their services. In turn, this requires ever more money.

Another reason why people pursue ever more wealth is that they are beguiled by what Jesus Christ called “the deceptive power of riches.” (Matthew 13:22) They are deceived because in these riches that they so ardently seek, they never find the satisfaction or happiness they expected to find. They reason that what limited wealth fails to do, greater wealth will do. So there is a constant striving for more.

Answer 3

I personally like John 3:16 the best.

Money answers everything...Rather than being cynical or critical about wealth or the rich, this comment is to be taken in the context of dissolute nobles (v16)and banqueters (v17).

Wealth for them is only pleasure and means having fun.(FOOLS!!!)

Reffering to vs18... Instead of repairing the branches in the commonwealth ( equivalent to "building" ), the princes "make a feast of laughter (vs16), and wine maketh their life glad (Ps 104:15), and (but) money suplieth (answereth their wishes by supplying ) all things" i.e. , they take bribes to support their extravagance; and hench arise the wrongs that are perpetrated

MAURER takes "all things" of the wrongs to which princes are instigated by money"; e.g. heavy taxes , which were the occation of Rehobom losing ten tribes ( 1 Kings 12:2 etc. )

So what makes that the best Bible verse ever???

Answer 4

Hmmmm, maybe not. It may be saying that feating and drinking are fun and all that, but sooner or later the bill comes due.

On the other hand, it may be true that money is the answer to everything. Some people say "Money isn't everything." So why then, does everything COST money?
