Proverbs 23:19 Context
17Let not thine heart enuy sinners, but be thou in the feare of the Lord all the day long. 18For surely there is an end, and thine expectation shall not be cut off. 19Heare thou, my sonne, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. 20Be not amongst wine-bibbers; amongst riotous eaters of flesh. 21For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to pouerty; and drousinesse shall cloath a man with ragges.
