18 Car il est un avenir, Et ton espérance ne sera pas anéantie.

19 Écoute, mon fils, et sois sage; Dirige ton cœur dans la voie droite.

20 Ne sois pas parmi les buveurs de vin, Parmi ceux qui font excès des viandes:

21 Car l’ivrogne et celui qui se livre à des excès s’appauvrissent, Et l’assoupissement fait porter des haillons.

22 Écoute ton père, lui qui t’a engendré, Et ne méprise pas ta mère, quand elle est devenue vieille.
