Eccl 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things
Does money answer all things?
Was that what this verse says?
As a rule of Bible interpretation, you must never take the word ALL literarily and give it an omnibus application
All things cannot be all things but must be seen in the context of all that is stated in the text
So let's look at our text again
What are the all things that money answers?
A feast is made for laughter,
and wine makes merry or cheerful
He said if you want to have laughter you could have a feast and you'll have laughter
And if you want to be merry, wine can give you that
And that money answers both.
That is, money will give you a feast for laughter and wine for merriment
So the all things that money will answer are A FEAST , LAUGHTER , WINE and MERRIMENT
Notice that 'things' is actually italicised in the text. Meaning it was never there in the first place.
Hence the original text actually states
A FEAST IS MADE FOR LAUGHTER , AND WINE MAKETH MERRY : BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THESE
This would have been a much better translation.
So money doesn't answer all things
A stroll down the nearest hospital will confirm that. There are rich folks there whose money has become useless in healing them.
So always endeavour to read in context.

Wealthy people still go to the hospital, don't they? Whether Nigerian hospitals or abroad...
