Proverbs 23:20-22
International Standard Version
20 Don’t associate with heavy drinkers
or dine with gluttons,
21 because drunks and gluttons tend to become poor,
and drowsiness will clothe them in rags.
22 Listen to the one who fathered you,
and don’t despise your mother in her old age.
Proverbs 23:20-22
New International Version
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine(A)
or gorge themselves on meat,
21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor,(B)
and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
Saying 17
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.(C)
