18:32. Take no pleasure in riotous assemblies, be they ever so small: for their concertation is continual.
18:33. Make not thyself poor by borrowing to contribute to feasts when thou hast nothing in thy purse: for thou shalt be an enemy to thy own life.
Ecclesiasticus Chapter 19
Admonition against sundry vices.
19:1. A workman that is a drunkard shall not be rich: and he that contemneth small things, shall fall by little and little.
19:2. Wine and women make wise men fall off, and shall rebuke the prudent:
19:3. And he that joineth himself to harlots, will be wicked. Rottenness and worms shall inherit him, and he shall be lifted up for a greater example, and his soul shall be taken away out of the number.
19:4. He that is hasty to give credit, is light of heart, and shall be lessened: and he that sinneth against his own soul, shall be despised.
19:5. He that rejoiceth in iniquity, shall be censured, and he that hateth chastisement, shall have less life: and he that hateth babbling, extinguisheth evil.
19:6. He that sinneth against his own soul, shall repent: and he that is delighted with wickedness, shall be condemned.
