19 Hear, my son, and *be wise,

and *direct your heart in the way.

20 Be not among *drunkards*

or among *gluttonous eaters of meat,

21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,

and *slumber will clothe them with rags.

22 *Listen to your father who gave you life,

*and do not despise your mother when she is old.
