He who loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich—a warning that indulgence in luxuries and pleasures prevents accumulation of wealth, establishing that those who prioritize immediate gratification cannot achieve prosperity. The repetition of 'will become poor/will never be rich' emphasizes the inevitability. The theological significance involves the principle that discipline and deferred gratification are prerequisites for wealth.
