¹⁷ Do not let your heart envy sinners,
    but continue in the fear of the Lord all day long;
¹⁸ for surely there is an end,
    and your expectation will not be cut off.

¹⁹ Hear, my son, and be wise;
    and guide your heart in the way.
²⁰ Do not be among winebibbers,
    among riotous eaters of meat;
²¹ for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
    and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.

24 Do not be envious against evil men,
    nor desire to be with them;
² for their heart studies destruction,
    and their lips talk of mischief.
