Proverbi 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 ) .

Proverbi 23:21 In-Context

19 Ascolta, figliuol mio, e sii savio; E addirizza il tuo cuore nella diritta via
20 Non esser de’ bevitori di vino; Nè de’ ghiotti mangiatori di carne.
21 Perciocchè l’ubbriaco ed il ghiotto impoveriranno; Ed il sonnecchiare farà vestire stracci
22 Ubbidisci a tuo padre, il qual ti ha generato; E non isprezzar tua madre, quando sarĂ  divenuta vecchia.
23 Compera veritĂ , e non venderla, Compera sapienza, ammaestramento, ed intendimento.
