Proverbs 23:21

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty
They consuming their substance upon their bellies, in eating and drinking; see ( Proverbs 21:17 ) ; and drowsiness shall clothe [a man] with rags;
excessive eating and drinking brings drowsiness on men, unfits them for business, and makes them idle and slothful; and spending all on their bellies, they have nothing for their backs, and are clothed in rags; see ( Proverbs 24:33 Proverbs 24:34 ) .
