Proverbs 21:17

Modern English Version

The lover of pleasure will be a man of poverty; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

See the chapter Copy

for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe them with rags.

But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.

traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,

Precious treasure and oil are in the house of the wise, but a foolish man squanders it.

The wicked will be a ransom for the righteous, and the unfaithful for the upright.

Be not among winebibbers, or among gluttonous eaters of meat,
