Proverbs 23:17-21
Legacy Standard Bible
17 (A)Do not let your heart be jealous of sinners,
But be zealous in the [a](B)fear of Yahweh [b]always.
18 Surely there is a [c](C)future,
And your (D)hope will not be cut off.
19 You, my son, listen 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 them with rags.
