He who loves pleasure
will enjoy life.
will become poor.
will search continually.

Proverbs 21:17 reads, "He who loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and oil will never be rich." - Wine and oil were associated with lavish feasting. Olive oil was used in various lotions or perfumes, some of which were very expensive. Being wealthy is not a sin. Enjoying one’s wealth is not wrong. But, if a person loves the pleasure and the expensive things more than he loves doing what is right, he will lose his wealth.

These Proverbs are based on godly wisdom. Move on to the next Proverb.
