- 2 Timothy 3:4
traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
- Ecclesiastes 2:1-3
I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure”; but surely, this also was vanity. I said of laughter—“Madness!”; and of mirth, “What does it accomplish?” I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.
- Proverbs 21:17
He who loves pleasure will be a poor man;
He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.
- Ecclesiastes 2:9-11
So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.
Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them.
I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure,
For my heart rejoiced in all my labor;
And this was my reward from all my labor.
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done
And on the labor in which I had toiled;
And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind.
There was no profit under the sun.
- Revelation 3:17-18
Because you say, "I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing"—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
- Proverbs 23:2
And put a knife to your throat
If you are a man given to appetite.
- Proverbs 23:21
For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.
