Proverbs 21:17

He who ^aloves ¹pleasure will become a poor man;

He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.

Proverbs 23:1-3

When you sit down to dine with a ruler,

Understand well ¹what is before you,

So you should put a knife to your throat

If you are a ^aman of appetite.

Do not ^adesire his delicacies,

For it is bread of falsehood.

^aDo not eat the bread of ¹a ^bselfish man,

And do not desire his delicacies;

For as he ¹calculates in his soul, so he is.

“Eat and drink!” he says to you,

But ^ahis heart is not with you.

You will ^avomit up ¹the morsel you have eaten,

And you will corrupt your pleasant words.

You, my son, listen and ^abe wise,

And ^bdirect your heart in the way.

Do not be with ^aheavy drinkers of wine,

Or with ^bgluttonous eaters of meat;

For the ^aheavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,

And ^bdrowsiness will clothe them with rags.

A satisfied soul tramples the honeycomb,

But to a hungry soul any bitter thing is sweet.
