Deuteronomy 21:20

He will not obey our voice ; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. Gluttony and drunkenness were regarded by the Hebrews as highly criminal. The word rendered by "glutton," however ( זוֹלַל , from זָלַל , to shake, to shake out, to squander), includes other kinds of excess besides eating. It designates one who is prodigal, who wastes his means or wastes his person by indulgence. In Proverbs 23:30 , the whole phrase ( זוֹלְלֵי בָּשָׂר ) is given—squanderers of flesh, i . e . wasters of their own body, debauchees. In Proverbs 28:7 , the word is translated "riotous men" in the Authorized Version. Disobedience to parents was deemed an offense, which struck at the roots of the whole social institute.
