Proverbs 21:17-26
Anyone who loves pleasure will become poor.
Anyone who loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.
Evil people become the payment for setting godly people free.
Those who aren’t faithful are the payment for honest people.
It is better to live in a desert
than to live with a nagging wife who loves to argue.
Wise people store up the best food and olive oil.
But foolish people eat up everything they have.
Anyone who wants to be godly and loving
finds life, success and honor.
A wise person can attack a strong city.
They can pull down the place of safety its people trust in.
Those who are careful about what they say
keep themselves out of trouble.
A proud person is called a mocker.
He thinks much too highly of himself.
Some people will die while they are still hungry.
That’s because their hands refuse to work.
All day long they hunger for more.
But godly people give without holding back.
