Proverbs 23:19-21

Good News Translation

-15-

¹⁹ Listen, my child, be wise and give serious thought to the way you live. 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.
