23:17 Do not let your heart envy ¹  sinners,

but rather be zealous in fearing the Lord ²  all the time.

23:18 For surely there is a future, ³ 

and your hope will not be cut off. ⁴ 

23:19 Listen, my child, ⁵  and be wise,

and guide your heart on the right way.

23:20 Do not spend time ⁶  among drunkards, ⁷ 

among those who eat too much ⁸  meat,

23:21 because drunkards and gluttons become impoverished,

and drowsiness ⁹  clothes them with rags. ¹⁰
