Take no pleasure in riotous assemblies, be they ever so small: for their concertation is continual.
Don't indulge in luxurious living; the expense of it will ruin you.
Take no pleasure in too much luxury which brings on poverty redoubled.
Do not revel in luxurious living, or the expense involved may cause your impoverishment.
Do not revel in great luxury, or you may become impoverished by its expense.
Do not revel in great luxury, or you may become impoverished by its expense.
Do not revel in great luxury, or you may become impoverished by its expense.
Do not revel in great luxury, or you may become impoverished by contact with it.
Do not revel in great luxury, lest you become impoverished by its expense.
Do not revel in great luxury, lest you become impoverished by its expense.
Delight thou not in companies, neither in little companies; for why the sinning of them is continual. [Not delight thou in companies, nor in small things; soothly the trespassing of them is continual.]
