Mtu apendaye anasa atakuwa maskini, yeyote apendaye mvinyo na mafuta kamwe hatakuwa tajiri.
Proverbs 21:17 in English
Proverbs 21:17 · Berean Standard Bible
He who loves pleasure will become poor; the one who loves wine and oil will never be rich.
Context
15Wakati haki imetendeka, huleta furaha kwa wenye haki,
bali kitisho kwa watenda mabaya. 16Mtu anayepotea kutoka mapito ya ufahamu,
hupumzika katika kundi la waliokufa. 17Mtu apendaye anasa atakuwa maskini,
yeyote apendaye mvinyo na mafuta kamwe hatakuwa tajiri. 18Waovu huwa fidia kwa ajili ya wenye haki,
nao wasio waaminifu kwa ajili ya wanyofu. 19Ni afadhali kuishi jangwani
kuliko kuishi na mke mgomvi na mkorofi.
