Pro 23:21<\/span>, where drunkard <\/em> and glutton <\/em> correspond to the terms “winebibbers” and “eaters of flesh” of Pro 23:20<\/span>, seems to fix the sense. Compare Pro 5:9<\/span>; Pro 5:11<\/span>; Pro 31:3<\/span>. “The full force of the expression ‘prodigal of flesh’ cannot be felt except in a country like Palestine, where animal food does not enter into the ordinary diet of the people, and where it is esteemed a real luxury, and, as such, occasionally indulged in to great excess.” Muenscher. <\/em> Comp.

Pro 15:17<\/span>. The wise man almost throughout this whole chapter gives his disciple precepts respecting meals. First, he tells him of the manner in which he ought to conduct himself in eating with princes; he then cautions him to avoid the table of a covetous man; not to give him entertainment, nor to receive any from him. Here he attacks another kind of feasts; namely, where several assembled together, and each paid their quota. Formerly every one brought his own plate; this is the practice still in some countries. The reasons which might have adduced the wise man to forbid his disciples these kinds of assemblies, are, first, <\/em>the vain expence; secondly, <\/em>the loss of time; thirdly, <\/em>the hazard of evil company; fourthly, <\/em>the dangerous habits of leading a soft and indolent life; and the fear of being accustomed to wine and luxurious living. Calmet. It would be endless to descant upon this subject, upon the mischiefs and evils of intemperance, which Solomon has so finely described at the close of this chapter: it must suffice, therefore, to refer the reader to Scheuchzer on the place, and to Dean Bolton’s useful Tracts on intemperance in eating and drinking. I will just remark, that from the 22nd to the 29th verse the subject begun in the present verse is interrupted. <\/p>\n Pro 23:20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:<\/p>\n Ver. 20. Be not among wine-bibbers.<\/strong> ] Follow not the custom nor company of such; thou knowest not what thou mayest be drawn to do, though of thyself averse to such evil courses. Noah got no good by the luxurious old world Mat 24:38 with whom he lived; nor Lot by the intemperate Sodomites. Eze 16:49 Uriah, a good man, was at length persuaded to drink to excess. 2Sa 11:13 “Let him that standeth take heed lest he fall.” That evil servant that presumes to “eat and drink with the drunken,” shall be cut off in the middle a<\/em> Mat 24:49 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Among riotous eaters of flesh.<\/strong> ] Among fleshmongers, qui crapulae indulgent,<\/em> that pamper their paunches, In cute curanda plus aequo operati.<\/em> See my Common Place of Abstinence.
