Proverbs 23:17-21
Authorized (King James) Version
17 Let not thine heart envy sinners:
but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.
18 For surely there is an end;
and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise,
and guide thine heart in the way.
20 Be not among winebibbers;
among riotous eaters of flesh:
21 for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty:
and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
