Proverbs [Sayings] 21:16-19

¹⁶The man who wanders out of the way of understanding shall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.

¹⁷He who 'ahav ·affectionately loves· pleasure shall be a poor man. He who 'ahav ·affectionately loves· wine and oil shall not be rich.

¹⁸The wicked is a ransom for the upright; the treacherous for the upright.

¹⁹It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman.
