18 Indeed surely there is a future hope, And your hope will not be cut off.
19 Listen, my son, and be wise, And keep your heart on the right path!
20 Don`t be among ones drinking too much wine, Or those who gorge themselves on meat:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; And drowsiness clothes them in rags.
22 Listen to your father who gave you life, And don`t despise your mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and don`t sell it: Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
