Proverbs 21:15-17
The Voice
15 When justice is done, those who are in the right celebrate,
but those who make trouble are terrified.
16 People who wander from the way of wise living
will lie down in the company of corpses.
17 Those who live to party, who pursue pleasure, will end up penniless;
those who enjoy lots of wine and rich food will never have money.
Proverbs 21:15-17
New International Version
15 When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous
but terror to evildoers.(A)
16 Whoever strays from the path of prudence
comes to rest in the company of the dead.(B)
17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor;
whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.(C)
