Proverbs 23:19-22

Prov.23.19-Prov.23.22

19Hear, my son, and be wise, and direct your heart in the way. 20Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat, 21for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags. 22Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
