Saying 16

19 Listen, my son,(A) and be wise,
    and set your heart on the right path:
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine(B)
    or gorge themselves on meat,
21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor,(C)
    and drowsiness clothes them in rags.

19 Listen to me, my children!
Be wise and have enough sense
    to follow the right path.
20 Don't be a heavy drinker
    or stuff yourself with food.
21 It will make you feel drowsy,
and you will end up poor
    with only rags to wear.

19-21 Oh listen, dear child—become wise;
    point your life in the right direction.
Don’t drink too much wine and get drunk;
    don’t eat too much food and get fat.
Drunks and gluttons will end up on skid row,
    in a stupor and dressed in rags.
