ESVEnglish Standard Version

Hear, my son, and be wise,

and direct your heart in the way.

Be not among drunkards

or among gluttonous eaters of meat,

for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,

and slumber will clothe them with rags.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Listen, my son, and be wise,

and set your heart on the right path:

Do not join those who drink too much wine

or gorge themselves on meat,

for drunkards and gluttons become poor,

and drowsiness clothes them in rags.

Listen, my son, and be wise;

My child, listen and be wise:

Keep your heart on the right course.

Do not carouse with drunkards

for they are on their way to poverty,

and too much sleep clothes them in rags.

You, my child, hear and be wise,
