Proverbs 23:17-23
Christian Standard Bible
17 Don’t let your heart envy sinners;(A)
instead, always fear the Lord.(B)
18 For then you will have a future,
and your hope will not be dashed.(C)
19 Listen, my son, and be wise;
keep your mind on the right course.
20 Don’t associate with those who drink too much wine(D)
or with those who gorge themselves on meat.(E)
21 For the drunkard and the glutton will become poor,
and grogginess will clothe them in rags.(F)
22 Listen to your father who gave you life,
and don’t despise your mother when[a] she is old.(G)
23 Buy—and do not sell—truth,
wisdom, instruction, and understanding.(H)

Proverbs 23:17-23
Lexham English Bible
17 May your heart[a] not envy the sinners,
but live in fear of Yahweh all day.[b]
18 Surely[c] there is a future,
and your hope will not be cut off.
19 You, my child, hear and be wise,
and direct your heart[d] on the road.
20 Do not be among drinkers of wine,
among gluttonous eaters of their meat.[e]
21 For the drunkard and gluttonous, they will become poor,
and with rags, drowsiness will clothe them.
22 Listen to your father—he who gave you life,[f]
and do not despise your mother when[g] she is old.
23 Buy truth and do not sell it,
wisdom and instruction and understanding.
