Proverbs 21:17-21
Tree of Life Version

17 Whoever loves pleasure becomes poor.
Whoever loves wine and oil will not be rich.
18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous
and the faithless for the upright.
19 It is better to live in a desert land
than with a quarrelsome, worrisome wife.

20 Precious treasure and oil are in a wise person’s dwelling,
but a foolish person devours all he has.

21 Whoever pursues righteousness and mercy
finds life, prosperity and honor.
