17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.
17 He that loveth pleasure
17 Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.
17 You're addicted to thrills? What an empty life! The pursuit of pleasure is never satisfied.
17 He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.
17 Those who love pleasure become poor; those who love wine and luxury will never be rich.
