Proverbs 21:17

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

See the chapter Copy

The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.

There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swalloweth it up.

Be not among winebibbers; Among gluttonous eaters of flesh:

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: And drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth.

traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
