19 My son, hear thou, and be wise, and address thy soul in the way.

20 Do not thou be in the feasts of drinkers, neither in the oft eatings of them, that bring together fleshes to eat.

21 For men giving attention to drinks, and giving morsels together, shall be wasted, and napping shall be clothed with clothes rent.

22 Hear thy father, that begat thee; and despise not thy mother, when she is eld.
