Proverbs 21:17-20 English Standard Version (ESV)

17. Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man;he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

18. The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,and the traitor for the upright.

19. It is better to live in a desert landthan with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

20. Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man’s dwelling,but a foolish man devours it.
