Precious treasure and oil are in the home of the wise, but a fool swallows them down.
In context
18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and the treacherous takes the place of the upright. 19Better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful wife. 20Precious treasure and oil are in the home of the wise, but a fool swallows them down. 21Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness and honor. 22A wise man scales the city of warriors and brings down the stronghold they trusted.
