Proverbs 21:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ Anyone who loves only pleasure will become poor.
    People who love wine and big feasts will never become rich.
¹⁸ When trouble comes,
    wicked people receive the pain instead of righteous people.
¹⁹ It is better to live alone in a desert
    than to live with a wife who quarrels and complains.
