Proverbs 21:17 (Listen)

17 Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man;

he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

20 Be not among zdrunkards1

or among agluttonous eaters of meat,

21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,

and bslumber will clothe them with rags.

[1] 23:20 Hebrew those who drink too much wine

16 If you have ffound honey, eat gonly enough for you,

lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.

7 One who is full loathes ehoney,

but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.

7 The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding,

but ma companion of gluttons shames his father.
