15. My son, if your heart is wise,my heart will indeed rejoice.
16. My innermost being will cheerwhen your lips say what is right.
17. Don’t let your heart envy sinners; instead, always fear the Lord.
18. For then you will have a future,and your hope will never fade.
19. Listen, my son, and be wise;keep your mind on the right course.
20. Don’t associate with those who drink too much wine or with those who gorge themselves on meat.
21. For the drunkard and the glutton will become poor,and grogginess will clothe them in rags.
22. Listen to your father who gave you life,and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
