Proverbs 23:18-21 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. For you will have hope in the end, and your expectation will not be taken away.

19. Listen, my son, and be wise, and direct your soul along the way.

20. Do not be willing to be in the feasts of great drinkers, nor in the carousings of those who gather to feed on flesh.

21. For those who waste time drinking, and who surrender themselves to symbols, will be consumed. And those who sleep will be clothed in rags.
