Proverbs 23:21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to
poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags.
I find it interesting that this verse
attaches these two sins with lack of revenue. It may be that it is
referring to the cost of a great deal of food and drink can cause poverty, but
I think there is more to the verse than that. I think the person who is
consistently drunk or constantly eating will not be very employable. Both
drinking and overeating can wear the body down, deplete energy and make one
lethargic - not a good recipe for a good employee.
Just worth thinking about.
