6 Bible Verses about Obesity

For you will put a knife to your throat
If you are a man of great appetite.

Do not associate with heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat,

Have you found [pleasure sweet like] honey? Eat only as much as you need,
Otherwise, being filled excessively, you vomit it.

whose fate is destruction, whose god is their belly [their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their vanity], and whose glory is in their shame—who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things.

Do not associate with heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat,

For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And the drowsiness [of overindulgence] will clothe one with rags.

He who keeps the law [of God and man] is a wise and discerning son,
But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father [and himself].
