The Bible frequently reminds us that overindulgence, whether in drink or food, results in spiritual and physical consequences. Proverbs specifically warns that the drunkard and the glutton will “come to poverty,” and that slumber will “clothe them with rags.” The consequences of such behaviors are not just financial but are deeply tied to the moral and spiritual fabric of a person’s life. The Bible’s teachings show that overindulgence in food or drink is not simply a matter of poor health; it reflects a deeper spiritual issue of misplaced priorities. Those who seek satisfaction in the pleasures of the flesh will inevitably find themselves impoverished in spirit. The passage emphasizes the importance of moderation in all things and the need for self-control as key virtues that honor God. By living disciplined lives, we avoid the trap of addiction and excess, and we create space for God's blessings and provision to flow into our lives.
