Proverbs 23:14-22 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

14. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell.

15. My son, if thy mind be wise, my heart shall rejoice with thee:

16. And my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips shall speak what is right.

17. Let not thy heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long:

18. Because thou shalt have hope in the latter end, and thy expectation shall not be taken away.

19. Hear thou, my son, and be wise: and guide thy mind in the way.

20. Be not in the feasts of great drinkers, nor in their revellings, who contribute flesh to eat:

21. Because they that give themselves to drinking, and that club together shall be consumed; and drowsiness shall be clothed with rags.

22. Hearken to thy father, that beget thee: and despise not thy mother when she is old.
