Proverbs 23:20-22
Amplified Bible
20
Do not associate with heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat,(A)
21
For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And the drowsiness [of overindulgence] will clothe one with rags.
22
Listen to your father, who sired you,
And do not despise your mother when she is old.
Proverbs 23:20-22
New International Version
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine(A)
or gorge themselves on meat,
21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor,(B)
and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
Saying 17
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.(C)
