18For surely there is an end; And thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And guide thine heart in the way.
20Be not amongst winebibbers; Amongst riotous eaters of flesh:
21For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: And drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.
23Buy the truth, and sell it not; Also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: And he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
