Proverbs 21:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ Whoever leaves the path of understanding
    ends up with those who are dead.

¹⁷ Anyone who loves pleasure will become poor.
    Anyone who loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.

¹⁸ Evil people become the payment for setting godly people free.
    Those who aren’t faithful are the payment for honest people.
