Proverbs 21:17-19

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷ A man of want is he who loves pleasure;
    he who loves wine and oil^[a] will not become rich.
¹⁸ A ransom for the righteous is the wicked,
    and the faithless instead of the upright.
¹⁹ Better to live in a land of wilderness
    than with a wife of quarrels and provocation.
