Pro 23:21 | MHM | STEP | v. 21 : For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags (Proverbs 23:21 ). Solomon explains that people who are always drinking or eating too much often end up poor. Their bad habits make them lazy and sleepy, and soon they do not have enough money or decent clothes. This shows that a lack of self-control can ruin a person’s life, and that we must be careful not to follow such an example.
