19 Hear, my child, and be wise,
and direct your mind in the way.

Proverbs 23:19-21
Common English Bible
19 Listen, my child, and be wise!
Keep your mind straight on the path.
20 Don’t hang out with those who get drunk on wine
or those who eat too much meat,
21 because drunks and gluttons will be impoverished;
their stupor will clothe them in rags.
