Proverbs 23:19-23 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

19. Hear, my son, and be wise, And guide your heart in the way.

20. Be not among heavy drinkers of wine Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;

21. For the drunkard and the glutton become poor, And slumber puts rags on a man.

22. Listen to your father who brought you forth, And do not despise your mother when she is old.

23. Buy the truth and do not sell it – Wisdom and discipline and understanding.
