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.
24. The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,and he who fathers a wise child will have joy of him.
25. Your father and your mother will be glad,and she who bore you will rejoice.
