18. For you will surely have a future,and your hope will not be cut off.
19. Hear, my son, and be wise,and guide your heart in the right way.
20. Do not join with wine bibbers,nor with those who glut themselves on meat.
21. For drunkards and gluttons come to poverty,and lazing about clothes one in rags.
22. Listen to your father who begot you,do not despise your mother when she is old.
23. Buy truth and do not sell:wisdom, instruction, understanding!
