Proverbs 21:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 A person who wanders from the way of understanding
Will (A)rest in the assembly of the [a]dead.
17 One who (B)loves pleasure will become a poor person;
One who loves wine and oil will not become rich.
18 The wicked is a (C)ransom for the righteous,
And the (D)treacherous is in the place of the upright.
