Proverbs 23:17-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 Do not let your heart envy sinners,
but always continue in the fear of the Lord.(A)
18 Surely there is a future,
and your hope will not be cut off.
19 Hear, my child, and be wise,
and direct your mind in the way.
20 Do not be among winebibbers
or among gluttonous eaters of meat,(B)
21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
and drowsiness will clothe them with rags.(C)
22 Listen to your father who begot you,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.(D)
23 Buy truth, and do not sell it;
buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.(E)
Proverbs 23:17-23
Holman 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 never fade.(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)
