In context

17He who loves pleasure will be a poor man. He who loves wine and oil won’t be rich.

18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, the treacherous for the upright.

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

20There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man swallows it up.

21He who follows after righteousness and kindness finds life, righteousness, and honor.
