Proverbs 23:18-26

¹⁸For surely there is an ende, and thy hope shall not be cut off.

¹⁹O thou my sonne, heare, and bee wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

²⁰Keepe not company with drunkards, nor with gluttons.

²¹For the drunkard and the glutton shall bee poore, and the sleeper shalbe clothed with ragges.

²²Obey thy father that hath begotten thee, and despise not thy mother when she is olde.

²³Bye the trueth, but sell it not: likewise wisdome, and instruction, and vnderstanding.

²⁴The father of the righteous shall greatly reioyce, and hee that begetteth a wise childe, shall haue ioy of him.

²⁵Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall reioyce.

²⁶My sonne, giue mee thine heart, and let thine eyes delite in my wayes.
