17Let not thy heart envy sinners: But be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day.
18For if thou shouldest keep these things, thou shalt have posterity; And thy hope shall not be removed.
19Hear, my son, and be wise, And rightly direct the thoughts of thy heart.
20Be not a wine bibber, Neither continue long at feasts, and purchases of flesh:
21For every drunkard and whoremonger shall be poor; And every sluggard shall clothe himself with tatters and ragged garments.
22Hearken, my son, to thy father which begot thee, And despise not thy mother because she is grown old.
