Proverbs 21:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ A man who wanders from the way of understanding
Will ^(A)rest in the assembly of the ^[a]dead.
¹⁷ He who ^(B)loves pleasure will become a poor man;
He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.
¹⁸ The wicked is a ^(C)ransom for the righteous,
And the ^(D)treacherous is in the place of the upright.
