18 Porque ciertamente hay fin, y tu esperanza no será cortada.

19 Oye tú, hijo mío, y sé sabio, y endereza tu corazón al camino.

20 No estés con los bebedores de vino, ni con los comedores de carne:

21 Porque el bebedor y el comilón empobrecerán: y el sueño hará vestir vestidos rotos.

22 Oye á tu padre, á aquel que te engendró; y cuando tu madre envejeciere, no la menosprecies.
