17. Do not let your heart envy sinners,but rather be zealous in fearing the Lord all the time.
18. For surely there is a future,and your hope will not be cut off.
19. Listen, my child, and be wise,and guide your heart on the right way.
20. Do not spend time among drunkards,among those who eat too much meat,
21. because drunkards and gluttons become impoverished,and drowsiness clothes them with rags.
