“He who loves pleasure will be a poor man.He who loves wine and oil won’t be rich.”
Proverbs 21:17 (WEB)
Context Reading
15It is joy to the righteous to do justice;but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. 16The man who wanders out of the way of understandingshall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits. 17He who loves pleasure will be a poor man.He who loves wine and oil won’t be rich. 18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,the treacherous for the upright. 19It is better to dwell in a desert land,than with a contentious and fretful woman.
