Proverbs 21:17-19
The Voice
17 Those who live to party, who pursue pleasure, will end up penniless;
those who enjoy lots of wine and rich food will never have money.
18 The wicked become a ransom for those who live right,
and the faithless pay the penalty for their treachery against the upright.
19 You would be better off living in the middle of the desert
than with an angry and argumentative wife.
Proverbs 21:17-19
New International Version
17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor;
whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.(A)
18 The wicked become a ransom(B) for the righteous,
and the unfaithful for the upright.
19 Better to live in a desert
than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.(C)
