Proverbs 21:18 Context
16The man that wandreth out of the way of vnderstanding, shall remaine in the congregation of the dead. 17He that loueth pleasure, shall be a poore man: hee that loueth wine and oyle, shall not be rich. 18The wicked shalbe a ransome for the righteous; and the transgressour for the vpright. 19It is better to dwell in the wildernesse, then with a contentious and an angry woman. 20There is treasure to be desired, and oyle in the dwelling of the wise: but a foolish man spendeth it vp.
