Do you know of any Bible verses that refer to Gluttony? I have been looking for the past couple days, but I haven't quite found what I'm looking for. Any suggestions? Thanks!

*“Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.” (Proverbs 23:20-21)
*“He who keeps the law is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.” (Proverbs 28:7)
*“When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.” (Proverbs 23:2)

Less Directly:

*"It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. The man who fears God will avoid all extremes ." (Ecclesiastes 7:18
*"...gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."(Galatians 5:23)
*"It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,"(Titus 2:12)

Additionally, you could look up:
Exodus 16:20-27; Numbers 11:32,33; Deuteronomy 21:20,21; Proverbs 23:2; Genesis 25:30-34; Hebrews 12:16,17; Numbers 11:4; Psalms 78:18; 1 Samuel 2:12-17; & Daniel 5:1

No that's not Bibical, that's an old Catholic reading used in the 60s to coach little ones. you should do not ignore that the "sword" isn't an certainly actual weapon that's a metaphor for all the Seven deadly Sins. Frist the sword is Envy, then the sword is Wrath, and so on and as you will discover each sin is indirectly appropriate to envy, wrath, pride, sloth, lust, greed or gluttony, therefore the sword (as a metaphor for those sins mutually) is the mummy of all sins.

Proverbs 23:21 1 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe [a man] with rags.

Philippians 3,19
Their end is destruction. Their God is their stomach; their glory is in their "shame." Their minds are occupied with earthly things
Jude 12
These are blemishes on your love feasts, 10 as they carouse fearlessly and look after themselves. They are waterless clouds blown about by winds, fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead and uprooted.
Grace and peace!
