Proverbs 23:19-21
Christian Standard Bible
19 Listen, my son, and be wise;
keep your mind on the right course.
20 Don’t associate with those who drink too much wine(A)
or with those who gorge themselves on meat.(B)
21 For the drunkard and the glutton will become poor,
and grogginess will clothe them in rags.(C)
Proverbs 23:19-21
Lexham English Bible
19 You, my child, hear and be wise,
and direct your heart[a] on the road.
20 Do not be among drinkers of wine,
among gluttonous eaters of their meat.[b]
21 For the drunkard and gluttonous, they will become poor,
and with rags, drowsiness will clothe them.
