The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 23:17-22

  1. Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

  2. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

  3. Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

  4. Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

  5. For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

  6. Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
