Proverbs 23:17-23
English Standard Version
17 Let not your heart (A)envy sinners,
but continue in (B)the fear of the Lord all the day.
18 Surely (C)there is a future,
and your (D)hope will not be cut off.
19 Hear, my son, and (E)be wise,
and (F)direct your heart in the way.
20 Be not among (G)drunkards[a]
or among (H)gluttonous eaters of meat,
21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
and (I)slumber will clothe them with rags.
22 (J)Listen to your father who gave you life,
(K)and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 (L)Buy truth, and do not sell it;
buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

- Proverbs 23:20 Hebrew those who drink too much wine
Proverbs 23:17-23
Common English Bible
17 Don’t let your heart envy sinners,
but fear the Lord constantly;
18 then you will have a future,
and your hope won’t be cut off.
19 Listen, my child, and be wise!
Keep your mind straight on the path.
20 Don’t hang out with those who get drunk on wine
or those who eat too much meat,
21 because drunks and gluttons will be impoverished;
their stupor will clothe them in rags.
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life;
don’t despise your elderly mother.
23 Buy truth and don’t sell it;
buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
