¹⁷ Do not allow your heart to envy sinners.
Instead, always fear the Lord.
¹⁸ Indeed, there is a future,
and your hope will never be cut off.

¹⁹ Listen, my son, and be wise,
and keep your heart on the straight way.
²⁰ Do not be among those who drink too much wine,
or those who eat too much meat,
²¹ because a drunk and a glutton will become poor,
and drunken stupor dresses a person in rags.

24 Do not envy evil people,
and do not wish to be with them,
² because their hearts plan violence,
and their lips speak trouble.
