Proverbs 21:16-19
View Full Chapter
16Whoever strays from the path of prudence comes to rest in the company of the dead.
17Whoever loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.
18The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the unfaithful for the upright.
19Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.
