20Do not be among those who give themselves to wine-drinking, or among those who make themselves full with meat:
21For those who take delight in drink and feasting will come to be in need; and through love of sleep a man will be poorly clothed.
22Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old.
23Get for yourself that which is true, and do not let it go for money; get wisdom and teaching and good sense.
24The father of the upright man will be glad, and he who has a wise child will have joy because of him.
