Proverbs 21:17-21 English Revised Version (ERV)

17. He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

18. The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; and the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.

19. It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman.

20. There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man swalloweth it up.

21. He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
