Proverbs

¹⁴You shall whip him with the rod and deliver his life from Sheol (Hades, the place of the dead). ¹⁵My son, if your heart is wise, my heart will be glad, even mine; ¹⁶Yes, my heart will rejoice when your lips speak right things. ¹⁷Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord all the day long. ¹⁸For surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off. ¹⁹Hear, my son, and be wise, and direct your mind in the way [of the Lord]. ²⁰Do not associate with winebibbers; be not among them nor among gluttonous eaters of meat, [Isa. 5:22; Luke 21:34; Rom. 13:13; Eph. 5:18.]
