Proverbs 23:20 Context
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. 22Hearken vnto thy father that begate thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
