Proverbs

¹⁷Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long: ¹⁸For surely there is a reward; and thy hope shall not be cut off. ¹⁹Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. ²⁰Be not among winebibbers; among gluttonous 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; yea, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
