Proverbs 21:15-17
Revised Standard Version
15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous,
but dismay to evildoers.
16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding
will rest in the assembly of the dead.
17 He who loves pleasure will be a poor man;
he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.
Proverbs 21:15-17

comes to rest in the company of the dead.(B)

whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.(C)
