Proverbs 23:21

Learning From Your Father

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.
