17. Do not let your heart envy sinners,but continue in the fear of the Lord all day long;
18. for surely there is an end,and your expectation will not be cut off.
19. Hear, my son, and be wise;and guide your heart in the way.
20. Do not be among winebibbers,among riotous eaters of meat;
21. for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.
22. Listen to your father who gave you life,and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23. Buy the truth, and do not sell it,also wisdom and instruction and understanding.
