17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long:
18 For surely there is a reward; and thy hope shall not be cut off.
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20 Be not among winebibbers; among gluttonous eaters of flesh:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; yea, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
