16. Yes, my inmost being will rejoicewhen your lips speak right things.
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.
