Proverbs 21:17

The Scriptures 1998

He who loves pleasure is a poor man; He who loves wine and oil does not become rich.

See the chapter Copy

For the drunkard and the glutton become poor, And slumber puts rags on a man.

But she who is living in luxury is dead while she lives.

betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of Elohim,

Desirable treasure and oil, Are in the dwelling of the wise, But a foolish man swallows it up.

The wrong is a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous for the straight.

Be not among heavy drinkers of wine Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;
