Sprueche 23:21 Meaning and Commentary

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 ) .

Sprueche 23:21 In-Context

19 Höre du, mein Sohn, und werde weise, und leite dein Herz geradeaus auf dem Wege
20 Sei nicht unter Weinsäufern, noch unter denen, die Fleisch verprassen;
21 denn ein Säufer und ein Schlemmer verarmen, und Schlummer kleidet in Lumpen
22 Höre auf deinen Vater, der dich gezeugt hat, und verachte deine Mutter nicht, wenn sie alt geworden ist.
23 Kaufe Wahrheit und verkaufe sie nicht, Weisheit und Unterweisung und Verstand.
