Prodigal
Prodigal means wastefully or recklessly extravagant.
One of Jesus' most famous parables was a story about a "prodigal son." (Luke 15:11-32)
"Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began to be impoverished." (Luke 15:14, NASB)
Note: This is Rembrandt (1606-1669)'s famous painting "Return of the Prodigal Son". The painting, created shortly before the artist's death, is presently located at the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
