Proverbs 21:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ Anyone who loves pleasure will become poor.
    Anyone who loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.

¹⁸ Evil people become the payment for setting godly people free.
    Those who aren’t faithful are the payment for honest people.

¹⁹ It is better to live in a desert
    than to live with a nagging wife who loves to argue.
