Proverbs 23:17-21
New American Standard Bible 1995

17 (A)Do not let your heart envy sinners,
But live in the [a](B)fear of the Lord [b]always.
18 Surely there is a [c](C)future,
And your (D)hope will not be cut off.
19 Listen, my son, and (E)be wise,
And (F)direct your heart in the way.
20 Do not be with (G)heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with (H)gluttonous eaters of meat;
21 For the (I)heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And (J)drowsiness will clothe one with rags.
