Proverbs 21:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ The man who wanders out of the way of understanding
    will remain in the congregation of the dead.

¹⁷ He who loves pleasure will be a poor man;
    he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

¹⁸ The wicked will be a ransom for the righteous,
    and the transgressor for the upright.
