SCRIPTURE

"For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; And drowsiness will clothe [a man] with rags." — Proverbs 23:21 (ASV)

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 24:33Proverbs 24:34) .
