What does the Bible say about moderation in desires?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against desiring deceptive pleasures, particularly in Proverbs 23:1-8.

Proverbs 23:1-8 cautions against consuming the dainty meats offered by rulers whose intentions are self-serving. Solomon advises moderation and discernment, emphasizing that the appetite for worldly pleasures can lead to spiritual danger. In verse 3, he points out that such delicacies are deceitful and can lead away from God's truth. By considering who is at the feast and their intentions, we can avoid being ensnared by enticements that ultimately serve to control and exploit us.
