17 Let not your heart ¹envy sinners, but continue in ²the fear of the LORD all the day.

18 Surely ³there is a future, and your ⁴hope will not be cut off.

19 Hear, my son, and ⁵be wise, and ⁶direct your heart in the way.

20 Be not among ⁷drunkards^a or among ⁸gluttonous eaters of meat,

21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and ⁹slumber will clothe them with rags

22 ¹⁰Listen to your father who gave you life, ¹¹and do not despise your mother when she is old.

23 ¹²Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

24 ¹³The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.

25 ¹⁴Let your father and mother be glad; let ¹⁵her who bore you rejoice.

26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe^b my ways.

27 For a prostitute is ¹⁶a deep pit; ¹⁷an adulteress^c is a narrow ¹⁸well.

28 ¹⁹She lies in wait like a robber and increases the traitors among mankind.

29 ²⁰Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has ²¹wounds without cause? Who has ²²redness of eyes?

30 Those who ²³tarry long over wine; those who go to try ²⁴mixed wine.

31 Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly.

32 In the end it ²⁵bites like a serpent and stings like an adder.

33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart utter ²⁶perverse things.

34 You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like one who lies on the top of a mast.^d

35 "They ²⁷struck me," you will say,^e"but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I ²⁸must have another drink."
