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.
