17Let not thy heart envy sinners, But continue thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long;
18For surely there shall be a reward, And thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19Hear thou, my son, and be wise; And let thy heart go forward in the way!
20Be not thou among winebibbers, And riotous eaters of flesh;
21For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty, And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.
22Hearken to thy father, who begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.
23Buy the truth, and sell it not; Buy wisdom and instruction and understanding.
