In context
20Be not a wine bibber, Neither continue long at feasts, and purchases of flesh:
21For every drunkard and whoremonger shall be poor; And every sluggard shall clothe himself with tatters and ragged garments.
— Proverbs 23:22 —
24A righteous father brings up his children well; And his soul rejoices over a wise son.
