“Listen to your father, who begot you, || And do not despise your mother when she has become old.”— Proverbs 23:22 (LSV)
19Hear, my son, and be wise, || And make your heart blessed in the way,
20Do not become drunk with wine, || Among gluttonous ones of flesh,
21For the drunkard and glutton become poor, || And drowsiness clothes with rags.
22Listen to your father, who begot you, || And do not despise your mother when she has become old.
23Buy truth, and do not sell, || Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,
24The father of the righteous rejoices greatly, || The begetter of the wise rejoices in him.
25Your father and your mother rejoice, || Indeed, she bearing you is joyful.
