Proverbs 23:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ Don't associate with people who drink too much wine or stuff themselves with food. ²¹ Drunkards and gluttons will be reduced to poverty. If all you do is eat and sleep, you will soon be wearing rags.

-16-

²² Listen to your father; without him you would not exist. When your mother is old, show her your appreciation.
